Sometimes to affect change you have to change yourself. Well a group of concerned citizens have decided that enough is enough and have formed a voters club. In fact the League Of Voter Empowerment (L.O.V.E.) is such a club.

We will endorse and vote for the candidates that we believe best support our agenda and we will work to vote out the elected officials that we know do not have the best interest of their constituents in mind.

The endorsement list you are about to read is the first installment of many that will come out of the membership free, Voters Club (L.O.V.E.).

There’s nothing quite like sprinkling ( L.O.V.E. ) on a community that can change the political and economic struggle of a people.
