VERSIONS OF THIS BILL
TO RECOGNIZE THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS FOR ITS MANY YEARS OF POSITIVE IMPACT ON AMERICAN GOVERNMENT THROUGH CITIZEN EDUCATION AND ADVOCACY, AND TO CONGRATULATE THE LEAGUE UPON THE OCCASION OF ITS NINETIETH ANNIVERSARY.
Whereas, the League of Women Voters, a nonpartisan political organization, has fought since 1920 to improve our systems of government and impact public policies through citizen education and advocacy; and
Whereas, the League's enduring vitality and resonance come from its unique decentralized structure as a grassroots organization, working at the national, state, and local levels; and
Whereas, in addition to the hundreds of local branches nationwide, there are Leagues in all fifty states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Hong Kong. The League of Women Voters of the United States and the League of Women Voters Education Fund operate at the national level, with grassroots support from state and local Leagues; and
Whereas, the organization is strictly nonpartisan; at the same time, it wholeheartedly works to influence policy through advocacy. Directed by the consensus of its members nationwide, the nine hundred state and local Leagues can be mobilized as necessary; and
Whereas, over time, the League's legislative priorities change to reflect the needs of society and critical issues of concern. The organization remains true to its basic purpose: to make democracy work for all citizens; and
Whereas, The League of Women Voters makes a difference in the lives of citizens because of the energy and passion of thousands of members committed to its principles; and
Whereas, 2010 marks the ninetieth anniversary of the League of Women Voters. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize the League of Women Voters for its many years of positive impact on American government through citizen education and advocacy, and congratulate the League upon the occasion of its ninetieth anniversary.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the League of Women Voters in South Carolina.
