Former C.C. president elected state secretary Chris Davis Garcia, a former president of LWV-CC, was elected to the statewide office of LWV-Texas secretary at the State Convenion in Austin April She has served as a member of the state board since 2010 and is also coeditor of the VOTER. LWV-CC s other delegates were President Sandra Heatherley and Vice President for Member Services Ruth Faulk. The C.C. League received two awards at the convention, one for growth in membership and one for Effective Use of Community Resources. The League of Women Voters, a nonpartisan, political organization, encourages informed and active participation in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy. 1 THE VOTER
2 The League of Women Voters biennial state convention occurred in Austin from April Chris Garcia, Ruth Falck, and I represented Corpus Christi as delegates to the session. Sandra Heatherley Ruth attended the Membership/Leadership Development (MLD) workshop on Friday, April 25, and had a chance to meet Ruthanne Geer, who has been assigned as the coach for the Corpus Christi League in the MLD endeavor, which is aimed at increasing membership and developing leadership among current members. More about the workshop appears in this newsletter. Elizabeth MacNamara, president of LWVUS, gave the keynote address on opening day of the convention. Among the highlights of her presentation was her reference to the common currency of democracy the vote. She explained that before the League gets more involved with the Move to Amend Coalition, LWVUS will enter into a study to analyze the structure of the process for amending the Constitution, the impact of state resolutions asking for a constitutional convention, and the rules that would apply to such a convention. She assured the audience that while the study is going on the LWV will remain active in disclosing contributions for candidates. Ms. MacNamara also recommended the recent book by retired Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens Six Amendments: How and Why We Should Change the Constitution. Her talk was certainly encouraging for all the work that local Leagues accomplish and she emphasized our need for patient persistence with several President s Message By Sandra Heatherley THE VOTER 2 examples of the League s successes, which are often measured in years or decades. The luncheon speaker on April 26 was Ann McGeehan, who was the election expert at the Texas Secretary of State s office for many years and most recently served on the Presidential Commission on Election Administration, which was charged with studying the problems which were reported from the 2010 presidential election and recommending possible solutions. One of the findings of the Commission is that the Motor Voter process of registering to vote when getting a driver s license is not working in most states. This is a fact we have recognized when doing voter registration at TAMU-CC. The Commission strongly encouraged that Motor Voter be re-energized and that all states work toward online voter registration and upgrading to more current electronic polling. The entire list of Commission recommendations can be found at There were 90 voting delegates at the convention representing 19 local leagues and 12 observers in the House of Delegates. Elaine Wiant of the Dallas League was elected president and our own Chris Davis Garcia was elected secretary for LWVTX. Two resolutions were passed by the House: That the LWV-TX recommend to the Texas State Board of Education a requirement for coverage of voting responsibilities and the practical aspects of voting be included in Government curriculum; and that at a minimum, 5 percent of questions on mandatory End-Of-Course government class test questions address voting and elections. That the LWV-TX recommend to the 85th Legislature a repeal of surcharges on fines relating to driving without a current inspections sticker and/or with expired insurance or no insurance.

LWV-CC receives two awards at state convention The Corpus Christi League of Women Voters received two awards during the state convention held the last week of April! in Austin. The first award recognized our local league as being among 100 Leagues in the United States to grow its membership by 10 percent or more in The LWV-CC grew by percent. The second award was for leveraging resources and building relationships. President Heatherley was happy to receive the Effective Use of Community Resources award recognizing our partnering and collaboration with the YWCA, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Leadership Corpus Christi, the Hispanic Women s Network, TAMU- CC, and the Move to Amend Coalition during the past two years. New Membership Program The League of Women Voters reports a gradual decline in membership until 2012 when membership leveled off. The League has now implemented a new program called Membership Leadership Development (MLD) to address the general decline in numbers. Through this program the national League will support the state organization, which will, in turn, support the local Leagues. Each League will have an experience coach to help with best practices in local League operations. Our coach is Ruth Ann Geer from Tarrant County, a past state president. We will have a monthly conference call to review what we have accomplished and to discuss any additional ideas. Along this line, ideas discussed at the state convention included working with the media, working with other organizations, welcoming new members, and cultivating future leadership. 5 THE VOTER

Currently, 100 members of College on April 24. Congress, 500 city councils, and 16 state legislatures support the reversal of Citizens United. Speaking before an audience of 70 at the White Library, Cobb explained that, while the Cobb urged his audience to push for a resolution American democratic system is based on the idea against Citizens United by the Corpus Christi City that the people rule themselves through elected Council to demonstrate local dissatisfaction with representatives, that system is threatened by the the current pay to play system. corrupting influence of money, particularly corporate money, to swing an election for one candidate or another. Cobb detailed the evolution of the corporation through history and the history of campaign finance legislation. While noting the growing threat corporations political influence poses to the American experiment in democratic government, Cobb stressed that we have an opportunity to reverse this trend. He recommended that the United States Constitution be amended to assert that corporations are not people and do not have the constitutional rights of people and money is not speech (and thus can be regulated by campaign finance laws). The Move to Amend campaign began following the 2010 Citizens United v.
