Citizenship In Action
The League of Women Voters of Mesa county is thoroughly dedicated to the fundamental principles of the League of
Women Voters and to its activities in support of those principles. The League
strives to implement those beliefs at the local - the grassroots
- level in Mesa County and in western Colorado. We assist and
encourage voter education, information, and recruitment throughout our
area and we strive to work cooperatively with others with
common interests.

You will receive your questionaire by March 2010. This is to determine the number of seats each state will have in the US House of Representatives.
