RADPAC 1999-2010 Hard Money Contributors by Election Cycle RADPAC Board and Advisory Council Members RADPAC’s 2010 Achievements RADPAC Individual Hard Money Contributors RADPAC Circle of Excellence ($2,500-$5,000) RADPAC Circle of Distinction ($1,000-2,499) RADPAC Gold Contributors ($500-999) RADPAC Silver Contributors ($250-499) RADPAC Sustaining Contributors ($1-249) RADPAC 2010 Outstanding Group Practice Contributors RADPAC State Contribution Percentage Chart RADPAC’s Election Success RADPAC’s Contributions to Candidates RADPAC a Year in Pictures Thank you from the Chairman RADPAC wants to thank all of its contributors for supporting the future of radiology through their generous contributions. RADPAC enjoyed another record-breaking year in 2010 as a result of these contributions. In fact, RADPAC raised more hard money, more soft money and had more contributors in 2010 than in any previous year in RADPAC’s history. The spectrum of RADPAC activities, from direct campaign contributions, to imaging policy discussions at fund raisers, to hands-on education of Members of Congress at radiologists’ practice sites, provides the ability for our specialty to directly and effectively advocate our important issues to those Members of Congress who create the legislation and policies so vital to the success and preservation of our specialty and to the continued well-being of our patients. This would not be possible without the thousands of generous contributions to RADPAC from responsible, concerned radiologists. I am particularly grateful to those 73 groups that have achieved 100 percent participation of their members. Thank you all.

IAPAC focuses exclusively on domestic policy issues such as civil rights and immigration, and it encourages Americans of Iranian descent to actively participate in civic affairs. Mission • To support and promote the election of candidates for federal, state and local office, regardless of party affiliation, who are attuned to the domestic needs and issues of the Iranian American community • To support and promote Iranian American participation in civic affairs Issue Advocacy Civil Liberties: Balancing Civil Liberties and National Security in the Post-9/11 Era. Protecting our security and ensuring that the government does not infringe upon basic constitutional rights have long been important issues for civil libertarians and certain ethnic communities. IAPAC believes that our government must take the appropriate measures to protect our nation from further atrocities, but that it can do so without eliminating basic constitutional rights. Immigration: Immigration reform that is driven by proper national security concerns and remedies based on a fair and accurate appraisal of deficiencies in the immigration process, and not simply on national origin. Specifically, IAPAC advocates for a fair and measured execution of federal regulations governing the issuance of non-immigrant and immigrant visas for Iranian nationals.

Kastenmeier guided the 1976 Copyright Act through lengthy Congressional committee proceedings to enactment on October 19, 1976. He also presided over the legislative process that brought about U.S. adherence to the Berne Convention in 1989. During his tenure, he authored 48 pieces of intellectual property legislation, a number that included 21 laws amending the Copyright Act, according to the New York Times. Kastenmeier served for 32 years in the “Copyright law touches House of Representatives.

  • State of the Statehouse
    hile elections sometime deliver results that are unexpected (the list is a long one; I’m sure you have your favorite upsets), there are also certain givens leading up to each voting responsibility. Two at the top of the list are: 1. Politicians, or maybe more accurately the people involved in the Wpolitical process, will repeatedly tell us why any election is important. That refrain is amplified in 2010, mostly because it determines who holds the mighty gavel – and pen – the following year. 2. A sea of change is coming, with the party out of power using that mantra to help regain control. The adage applies this time around, but it’s a different type of change than what was experienced two years ago or during the memorable mid-term election of 1994. The Indiana Chamber’s nonpartisan political action committee, Indiana Business for Responsive Government (IBRG), has a focused mission: help elect thoughtful candidates to the Indiana General Assembly who support pro-economy, pro-jobs legislation and initiatives. Jeff Brantley, with 20 years of experience in Indiana in a variety of roles, leads that effort as vice president of political affairs. Kevin Brinegar, Chamber president, has been with this organization for 18 years and involved in the legislative/political process for 30 years. Brinegar uses two key words – power and authority – in addressing topic No. 1. The 2010 election, of course, coincides with the 2010 census. Following the annual people count, the political party that controls the House and Senate in Indiana (and many other states), has the “power and authority to redraw district boundaries.

  • Newsmaker Interview: Lt. Gov. Tim Griffin on Efficiency, Transformation & Tax Cuts
    NEWSMAKER INTERVIEW: LT. GOV. TIM GRIFFIN ON EFFICIENCY, TRANSFORMATION & TAX CUTS (April 2020) A 5th generation Arkansan, Tim Griffin was raised in Magnolia and has served as Arkansas lieutenant governor since 2015.1 A fiscal conservative, Lt. Gov. Griffin spoke at the Policy Foundation's 20th anniversary event in 2015 with Gov. Asa Hutchinson. Lt. Gov. Griffin served on the Transformation Advisory Board, a 15-member citizens panel (2017-18) that emerged from the Policy Foundation's Efficiency Project (2015-16). The Board's work led to the reorganization of Arkansas state government in 2019. The Policy Foundation recently interviewed Lt. Gov. Griffin, a graduate of Hendrix College and Tulane Law School, about his work to transform Arkansas state government and make Arkansas' economy more competitive with other states. Policy Foundation: How did your background inform your public service on the Transformation Advisory Board? Lt. Gov. Griffin: I was able to draw up on my varied education and work experience, especially my work in the private sector as a small businessman, as an officer in the U.S. Army Reserve, and my experiences in the executive and legislative branches of government. Specifically, this broad experience allows me to understand government culture and how it differs from the private sector in terms of managing processes, programs, and people. That knowledge helped me identify where state government could be more efficient, provide better services to Arkansas taxpayers, and save taxpayers money. Policy Foundation: More than half of the Board members were citizen- volunteers from the private sector. What does that say about citizens' ability to make a difference in Arkansas? 1 Lt.
