CVA Position Statement Policy Colorado Voters for Animals deals with many sensitive legislative and electoral issues in the course of campaigning for humane legislation and candidates. At no time should volunteers use personal opinion when speaking on behalf of CVA. If a CVA position statement does not exist regarding specific legislation and/or candidates, a CVA volunteer should not address the question or lend personal opinion regarding the issue or candidate in question. The questions regarding that issue can be forwarded to the CVA president for clarification. Colorado Voters for Animals will periodically adopt position statements regarding current issues, legislation and/or candidates. POLICIES

Non-Partisan Policy CVA is nonpartisan in our advocacy; however, we are political in the sense that we seek to affect the outcome of legislation or policy. Our position on legislation and/or candidates is based on study and consensus by our board of directors. CVA’s cooperation with public officials shall not be determined by party affiliation, rather by position on specific legislation or rule. POLICIES
