CWLA supports a legislative platform that follows our core values:

CWLA believes in free market principles that emphasize:

* Smaller government and the role of government as a facilitator, not a regulator
* Individual freedom
* Responsibility and accountability
* Economic growth through lower taxes and entrepreneurship
