Today, the U.S. Environmental Agency (EPA) unveiled its long-awaited Clean Power Plan (CPP). Elisabeth MacNamara, president of the League of Women Voters of the U.S., issued the following statement praising the plan.

Today, the Court rejected the Arizona legislature's argument that only they can conduct federal redistricting under the U.S. Constitution.

The Affordable Care Act has brought us closer to what we should be: a nation that ensures affordable, quality healthcare for all. Today's decision reinforces the bedrock of our healthcare system.

“We are very pleased that new legislation has been introduced but there is so much more work to be done with the 2016 elections are quickly approaching,” said President MacNamara.

"The League joined in this case to further the simple goal of protecting government that is transparent and accountable to voters,” said League President Elisabeth MacNamara.

"We hope that President Obama will side with the thousands of League activists who have urged him to fully reject the pipeline after a complete review is finalized by the State Department," said President MacNamara.

“Today, President Obama stood up for the future of our environment and for the health and well-being of Americans,” President MacNamara said.

Local members, supporters and online activists join together to work for a better America as the League celebrates 95 years.

“It is time for President Obama to follow through on his promise to veto this misguided legislation,” said League President Elisabeth MacNamara.

League President MacNamara urges the FEC to update campaign finance regulations to provide full disclosure so that the Citizens United decision does not continue as the giant loophole for secret giving that it has become.
