  • Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012
    VERIZON POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS JANUARY – DECEMBER 2012 1 Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012 A Message from Craig Silliman Verizon is affected by a wide variety of government policies ‐‐ from telecommunications regulation to taxation to health care and more ‐‐ that have an enormous impact on the business climate in which we operate. We owe it to our shareowners, employees and customers to advocate public policies that will enable us to compete fairly and freely in the marketplace. Political contributions are one way we support the democratic electoral process and participate in the policy dialogue. Our employees have established political action committees at the federal level and in 20 states. These political action committees (PACs) allow employees to pool their resources to support candidates for office who generally support the public policies our employees advocate. This report lists all PAC contributions, corporate political contributions, support for ballot initiatives and independent expenditures made by Verizon in 2012. The contribution process is overseen by the Corporate Governance and Policy Committee of our Board of Directors, which receives a comprehensive report and briefing on these activities at least annually. We intend to update this voluntary disclosure twice a year and publish it on our corporate website. We believe this transparency with respect to our political spending is in keeping with our commitment to good corporate governance and a further sign of our responsiveness to the interests of our shareowners. Craig L. Silliman Senior Vice President, Public Policy 2 Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012 Political Contributions Policy: Our Voice in the Political Process What are the Verizon Good Government Clubs? and the government agencies administering the federal and individual state election laws.

THE 1992 ELECTIONS IN VIRGINIA: A STATUS QUO STATE IN THE YEAR OF CHANGE Larry J. Sabato University of Virginia THE U.S. PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION The 1992 election, full of upheaval and transformation around the country, was more traditional in the Old Dominion. While the nation was ousting White House incumbent George Bush, Virginia voted to reelect him by a percentage that was Bush's sixth-best of the 50 states. 1 And in a year when many scandal­ tainted congressional incumbents stepped aside, voluntarily or through defeat, the only changes in Virginia's U. S. House line-up were forced by redistricting and one age-related retire­ ment. Much as in 1976, when southern Democrat Jimmy Carter won the presidency, Virginia resisted both regionalism and the call for change-and this time the Commonwealth was joined by most other states of the South.

    i I- BEFORE THE FEDERAL ELjECTlON COMMISSION In the Matter of ) Witness Subpoena to ) m 3774 The National Right to) Work Committee ) SUPPLEMENTAL RESPONSE TO SUBPOENA The National Right to Work Committee (WRTWC), hereby submits this Supplemental Response to the Subpoena ?o Produce Documents/Order to Submit Written Answers served upcln “WC in the above-referenced MUR, following the June 10,1997, decision of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in Misc. Action No. 97-0160, ordering NRWC to respond to Interrogatory No. 3 and Document Request No. 3, as modified by the Court. INTRODUCTORY COAKMENTS Intemgatory No. 3 and Document Request No. 3 relate to activities from more than four years ago. NRTWC has experienced changes in personnel over those years, and documents may no longer exist, if they ever existed. Nonetheless, “WC, with the assistance of counsel and staff, has conducted a diligent search for documents and facts, and responds on the basis of information so gathered. The Court limited the scope of Interrogatory No. 3 and Document Request No. 3 to the 1992 senatorial candidates, and the Commission, by its attorneys in discussions with “WC counsel, has further limited the scope to the 1992 general election senatorial candidates. Thus, NRTWC’s search has focused on the 1992 general election senatorial candidates. Also, the Commission and NRTWC, in briefing and in discussions between counsel, have agreed that NRTWC may redact documents to delete supporter-identitjing information from documents to be produced, and NRTWC is doing so. MTERROGATORY NO. 3 NRlwC did not engage in, or finance, in whole or in pa, “any activities relating to federal elections in October-December 1992 .
