LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE
The LFRW Legislative Chairman:
The Legislative Committee is essential to fulfilling two of the primary objectives of LFRW, to increase the effectiveness of women in the cause of good government and to promote an informed the public through political education and activity.
The Committee synthesizes these critical bills, and after sending them to the President for approval, forwards updates to the Executive Board, Regional Vice Presidents and Club Legislative Chairs. It also crafts Resolutions, proposes them to the LFRW Board for a vote, and if passed, sends these Resolutions to the Republican members of the Louisiana State Legislature.
It monitors the NFRW Web Site (http://www.nfrw.org) on national issues and encourages grassroots response to national issues. Chair of the Committee advises the LFRW President who then mobilizes the LFRW members to take action.
The Committee orders and distributes PAR Guidebooks to LFRW members and helps to coordinate the “Day at the Legislature,” a major event that LFRW schedules annually usually in the Spring. The Legislative Chairman: Joyce Linde joyce.linde@lusfiber.net
The Legislative Committee gathers information on major bills or issues at the national or state governmental levels by monitoring legislative action on the Internet, C-Span, newspaper reports, and analyses by prominent and reliable political journalists. The Committee zeroes in on central and critical issues, especially those that pertain to planks in the Republican platform - fiscal responsibility, fair taxation, economic opportunity, foreign policy, immigration, and cultural and family issues.
