    PFIZER PAC & CORPORATE POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS REPORT 2005 – 2006 CYCLE Learn which candidates we supported in your community PFIZER PAC ~ OUR VOICE IN THE POLITICAL PROCESS A Message From Rich Bagger, Chairman Pfizer PAC Dear Colleagues: One of our five immediate priorities at Pfizer is to engage more actively and meaningfully with patients, doctors, payers, governments and other key stakeholders. We’re reaching out to these important groups and working harder to meet their needs. We're also working harder to engage all stakeholders in the dialogue on health policy and actively participate in the discussion over how to improve the quality of healthcare, access to medicines, and incentives for innovation. Pfizer PAC is one of the key ways in which we engage with candidates for public office. Through Pfizer PAC, we support candidates who understand the importance of innovative life sciences companies like Pfizer in fighting disease, improving health outcomes, and ensuring access to vital medicines. This report includes a list of candidates and political committees that Pfizer PAC supported during the 2005-06 election cycle. I hope you will take some time to review this report and see which candidates Pfizer PAC supported in your region. This was a successful year for Pfizer PAC. In the past election cycle, Pfizer PAC supported more than 2,277 candidates from both political parties, and at all levels of government. You, and Pfizer colleagues across America, definitely made a difference this past year through Pfizer PAC, by supporting candidates for public office who value access and innovation in healthcare. Thank you for your support—this report explains how Pfizer PAC put your generous contributions to use.

    A Call For Dreamers Carolyn Walker Contents of Curriculum Unit General Information Narrative Discourse Unit Goals Lesson I: Introduction Lesson II: The Outrageous Dreamers, Part I (1836-1899) Lesson III: The Outrageous Dreamers, Part II (1900-1980 Lesson IV: The Next Generation of Dreamers, The Urban Dream, 1981-Present Lesson V: A Call For Dreamers, Creating A Dream For Our Own Community General Application This curriculum unit is designed to be used in an English, Leadership, Vocational Construction, or Social Studies class, grades 10-12. It may also be used as a co-curricular unit. The entire unit may be completed in a minimum of six weeks. If students are allowed to work on projects in class, it may take longer. The unit requires three field trips. If these are not possible, speakers may be used to provide the information that may be obtained on these trips. Narrative Discourse In a December 27, 1998 article titled “Houston Needs Dreamers,” Douglas Milburn stated how Houston from the very beginning has been blessed by dreamers--people of vision whose dreams in many cases seemed “beyond the limits of rational possibilities.” (Milburn 1) His partial list of dreamers included: Sam Houston, William Marsh Rice, the 1900 business community, Miss Ima Hogg, Jesse Jones, M. D. Anderson, John and Dominique de Menil, Judge Roy Hohfeinz, and Gerald Hines. He points out that there are still people in the city doing “new and creative things,” however, these things are small, fragmented--not the typical grand scale projects that were typical of the pre-1980s oil bust visionaries.
