League of Women Voters more or less uses this for a motto in Florida — The anti-gerrymandering campaign went on from 1939 until the passage of Amendments 5 & 6 two years ago, for example. Are you a member, Moe?

Pat, I’m not and I don’t know why! I’ve always admired LWV and their mission. They’ve been the very model of good civic values. I’ll follow your info beow and maybe join.

Oh great, Moe! I’ll look forward to meeting you at some League event — and you too, Ed. BTW, did you all know that LWV-Fla has been running people-to-people trips to Cuba for a couple of years now? At about half the price of tour companies but no skimping. When I went, we stayed at the Nacional…I felt like I was in a Fred & Ginger movie.

Call the state office if you don’t hear soon — phone number on lwvfla.org. Ask for the Sarasota membership chair or president’s phone # and call. My own local League is bad about the website (gnashing teeth now) — too cheap to hire a professional and the volunteers are…. well, call.

We live in Florida – where do you find such a group?

Go to lwvfla.org and look for your local League’s info. If there happens to be no League in your county, contact the state office for info on being a MAL (member at large). State League is quite active and there’s lots a MAL can do. BTW, men have been members since the 70s — but the ‘brand’ is so valuable that we’ve decided to keep the old name. C’mon in — we need you!
