Greetings LIV Members and Friends!
The League of Independent Voters (LIV) is, to our knowledge, the only membership association for independent voters in the country, despite that we are a 45% plurality of American voters.
This special alert is focused on immigration because of the timely deadline for Congressional funding decisions for the Department of Homeland Security and ICE on February 13.
We believe independent voters can play a strategic role in settling the strife in our country about immigration.
The division between the two parties calls for our full, well-informed and vigorous participation to make things right for everyone in our country, including those seeking entry.
Please read our original article, “Immigration Deform,” share it, and contact your members of Congress right away in the U.S. House and Senate. Details are in the article.
If you are voting in one of the major party primaries, we hope you will consider this issue as you cast your vote.
Primary Election Day in Texas is Tuesday, March 4 with early voting starting on February 17. More details HERE provided by the Texas Tribune.
What we’ve been up to at LIV
We took a two month break to reflect on reorganizing LIV to reach millions of Texas independents.
We have been looking for the right people to come on board with honest financial, technical and intellectual chops. We’re excited to report that this is beginning to happen, though it’s a work in progress. We want you on board, including to help fill out our 38 board positions.
If you’re interested, please join us on Monday night at 8 pm (sign in on our Event page HERE). If you can’t make it, use this CONTACT FORM to reach us.
Please become a member of LIV HERE.Join us most any Monday night at 8 pm. If there’s a meeting, it will be posted on our Events page HERE.

We would love to hear what your Congressional members are telling you. Bring your stories to us on Monday night.
Hang tight, y’all and share this message.
The LIV Team
PS An important court decision is expected on or before February 9 involving the $5.6B Austin Convention Center petition’s decertification by the Austin City Clerk. Please read THIS article in the Austin Free Press and cross your fingers for all Texan’s right to petition for a public vote.
Great Job LIV & the Team @ League of Independent Voters of Texas for sharing this story.
