UPDATE ON LIMITING GOVERNMENT
INTERFERENCE IN REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS


 
So far, 550,000 petitions for the amendment to limit government interference with abortion in Florida have been collected. The LWV of Collier County has been given credit for collecting 284 petitions so far. With the great momentum the campaign is showing, it looks very likely we can reach the needed one million petitions signed if everyone keeps working hard.

There are challenges with this campaign. Some petitions collected are not filled out properly so that they cannot be sent in. Many people forget to include the date of when it was signed. Some forget to include the county. They will mark it as US, thinking it says country or simply put in their zip code. No one else is allowed to write on a petition that is not theirs. So, getting the required number of petitions signed also means people need to fill out their petition form carefully. Some good news is that the petitions are now available in Spanish and Creole. Please let Janet Hoffman know if you need them. Hoping that if you support this initiative, you will find ways to help contribute to this cause. Please go to Floridians Protecting Freedom for information on the campaign and how to help.

THE MORE THINGS CHANGE, THE MORE THEY STAY THE SAME
Sent by the LWVCC member we know as Cynthia Cromwell (then Cindy Chamberlain), this clipping (The Sun Newspapers March 26, 1980) showcases the rich history of LWV and the long term commitment of our members—as well the enduring nature of the issues the League grapples with today.

Florida Weekly logo

The League has formed a partnership with Florida Weekly, a free local newspaper published once a week, to further the education of voters as part of the Get-Out-the-Vote campaign. The paper will print regular non-partisan articles, using the LWV logo, about upcoming elections, registration, voting options, and forums, culminating in a four-page Voter Guide in August for the Primary Election and again in late October for the General Election. Links to recent articles will be provided here in the LWVCC Update.
