    "As a political science professor, my students often ask where they can find nonpartisan information on issues about which they are confused. My pride in the work of the League really stems from helping to reduce this confusion. We keep voters informed on current election issues from a nonpartisan perspective."

    "I can't remember now why I knew the League was the best way to become politically effective, but I have been on a League board everywhere I've lived. It's my 'home,' and whenever I've moved, it's helped me figure out my new location very fast."

    "When my son was voting for the first time, he wanted to be sure that his vote was one that would elect candidates whose views jibed with his. He consulted me, and we used the VOTERS GUIDE along with the local newspaper. He paid close attention to the answers candidates gave. I was grateful to the League of Women Voters for providing such a valuable tool, and I wanted to repay the debt."
