This week was also about resistance. When trying to come up with an example of resistance the most blatant example I could find was after the LWV ran advertisements against 2 Republican Senators for voting against clean air initiatives. The LWV came under direct fire from both the Senators they ran the advertisement against and the Republican right. This is the most blatant piece of resistance I have been able to find. Perhaps this is a situation Bower might describe as the LWV a little to far on the agitation continuum. They pushed a little to hard (harder than normal) and received resistance from the government.
The local Austin LWV was busy this week hosting forums with the city over the upcoming election for Austin Mayor. The LWV moderated and sponsored the forums, giving citizens an opportunity to submit questions and hear candidates responses.
