• Peter Muller, Director, And One of The Founders Of LOHV- The League Of  Humane Voters, Will Present:
   “Make Your Vote Count For The Animals”
  
  Join this fast-growing Animal Protection Political Action Committee (PAC): LOHV - LEAGUE OF HUMANE VOTERS!
  
  LOHV influences elections in favor of candidates who MAKE DEALS to not only put the protection of animals on the radar screen, but on the front burner!
  
  Those of us who care about animals are just as dedicated and far more numerous than those who support the NRA… But, Unlike The NRA, The Animal Protective Community Hasn’t Had An Organized Vote Or A Systematic Approach To Achieving Our Goals.
  LOHV Is Changing That!
  
  All chapters are autonomous, and the turn-key easy launch makes it possible to begin to get your chapter active immediately.  Twenty-two chapters across the country -- and growing – testify to the fact that LOHV chapters impact local elections resulting in the passage of animal protective laws.
