Lobby Corps. PAC Study. New Citizens. Easy Voters Guide.

Volunteer Advocacy

The LWVME Lobby Corps is an all-volunteer effort. Even if you can only spare an hour or two a month you can be a valuable member of our team! Most of this work can be done from your home or office.
Here are the issues we're following:

Civil Liberties
Clean Elections & Campaign Finance Reform
Repeal of Term Limits
Voting Rights
Civil Rights
Conduct of Elections
Freedom of Information
Ethics & Disclosure

If you're interested in helping us track one or more of these issues, volunteer for the Lobby Corps! Call or e-mail for more information: lwvme@gwi.net or call 622-0256.

Join the PAC Study Committee

We're working on a major study, Money in Politics: PACs in Maine. We're focusing on candidate PACs to understand how they're funded, how they influence candidate elections, and what changes, if any, should be proposed to limit the influence of private money on elected officials. Read more about it.
The Study Committee meets every two or three weeks. It's all so interesting! To join the Study Committee, call or email LWVME at (207) 622.0256 or lwvme@gwi.net.

New Citizens

The Portland Area League has an ongoing program to pass out voter registration cards at naturalization ceremonies for new citizens. This is a year-round project, and we need more volunteers. Read all about it here. If you are interested, please contact us at PortlandAreaLWV@att.net. It is among the most satisfying work any League member can ever do.

Easy Voters Guide

The League of Women Voters of Maine joins with the Literacy Volunteers of Maine to produce an Easy Voters Guide for general elections. You can see what one looks like here. If you would like to help, please contact Barbara McDade by telephone at 947-8336 or by e-mail at bmcdade@bpl.lib.me.us.
