LWVUS League Legislative Priorities for 2010

After a review of congressional action in 2009 and a discussion of expected activity in 2010, the LWVUS Board of Directors adopted the following Legislative Priorities for 2010: Global Climate Change, Health Care Reform, and Money in Elections. On the Legislative Watch List are: Arms Control, DC Voting Rights, Election Reform, Ethics and Lobbying Reform, and UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). This Watch List includes issues which need to be monitored for action opportunities in the 111th Congress. It should also be noted that DC Voting Rights and CEDAW are perennial legislative priorities that the LWV has worked hard for in the past and is committed to working for successful passage.
