PETITION DRIVE TO AMEND THE FLORIDA CONSTITUTION

TO ENSURE REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM
Doctor visit photoMembers of The League of Women Voters of Collier County have wholeheartedly embraced the effort to obtain the nearly 100,000 valid signed petitions necessary to have a constitutional amendment placed on the ballot for the 2024 election. This amendment will protect the rights of Floridians to make personal medical decisions without government interference.

This initiative spearheaded by Floridians Protecting Freedom (FPF) is a statewide campaign that requires the efforts of an army of volunteers to collect the petitions and follow the required submission procedures.

This campaign cannot be carried out only by volunteers. The financial commitment is significant for a project of this magnitude. The printing of the petitions and corresponding supporting materials are a large expense. All of the petitions are required to be verified by each county’s Supervisor of Elections Office to ensure that the signers are registered voters. This vetting process must be paid for. The training of volunteers and tabulating, handling, mailing and other administrative costs must be covered. Paid petition collectors are a necessary expense because even thousands of volunteers cannot collect the signatures needed within the mandated time limits. Donations from those who believe in this cause and realize the importance of protecting our personal freedoms are making this monumental effort possible.

CELEBRATING OUR NEW SUPERVISOR OF ELECTIONS
Melissa Blazier was sworn in as the Supervisor of Elections on Wednesday, June 21st, and several Leaguers were present to join the celebration including Diane Moore, Janet Hoffman, Jan Eustis and Denise McLaughlin. Presiding over the ceremony was Judge Tamara Nicola, who several of the League members had met when the judge presented to high school students in March during our Know Your County Government program. Recently retired SOE, Jennifer Edwards, greeted us enthusiastically and introduced the brief ceremony saying that Melissa had been with the SOE for 17 years. Trish Robertson, Public Relations Officer for the SOE, thanked Leaguers who had shared information from our recent LWVCC Convention in Orlando.
