    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.

  • Schedule of Activities
    BOYS STATE CITIZEN____________________________________________ BOYS STATE CITY_______________________________________________ RESIDENCE HALL ____________________ROOM NO._________________ COUNSELOR____________________________________________________ Dear American Legion Boys State Citizen, Congratulations and welcome to The American Legion Boys State family! American Legion Boys State is among the most respected and selective educational programs of government instruction for U.S. high school students. I am confident that you will not be disappointed with your decision to participate in this outstanding citizenship education experience. It will influence your life decisions in ways that you cannot fully appreciate until years later. As one of the 20,000 young men who participate nationwide in this activity, you will experience government in a practical sense by actually participating in it. American Legion Boys State is a leadership action program; one that teaches government and its structure. It proves that government is just what you make it. You will find it to be challenging and sometimes tiring, and I’m certain you will always find it to be enjoyable and educational. If this government “….of the people, by the people, and for the people” is to remain strong, it requires the involvement of its citizens. The onus of preparing for that responsibility now rests squarely upon your shoulders, and those of future generations. For eighty-three plus years, American Legion Boys State has been prominent in producing young men, just like you, ready to accept that responsibility. I hope that those of you who are eligible for membership in the Sons of The American Legion will take advantage of the opportunity to join while you are at American Legion Boys State, and that when you return home you will also share information about the American Legion Family with your family and friends.

Prior to entering public service, he worked as a youth pastor at Albertville’s Grace Fellowship Church and was a co-founder of Dream Ranch, one of the most recognized hunting and fishing lodges in the United States. He currently operates the annual Tennessee Valley Hunting and Fishing Expo, which draws more than 20,000 attendees each year. In 2014, Lt. Gov. Ainsworth felt the call to serve his community through elected office and won a seat in the Alabama House of Representatives, where he was a champion of public education, farming, and family values issues. Keeping a self-imposed legislative term limit promise, Ainsworth declared his candidacy for lieutenant governor in 2018 and received the most votes of any candidate for constitutional office on the general election ballot. Ainsworth, who is committed to providing quality public education to Alabama’s schoolchildren, is a strong supporter of the state’s nationally-recognized “First Class” prekindergarten program, which provides young learners with the skills and foundational knowledge necessary to excel in their K – 12 education. Focusing his efforts as lieutenant governor on improving workforce development so that Alabamians may fill and retain long-lasting, well-paying, 21st Century jobs, he also works to promote policies that allow both new and existing industries to expand in Alabama. Ainsworth was elected as national chairman of the Aerospace States Association and is a member of the Alabama Workforce Council.

    2017 Directory Photo by Chad Coppess/travelsd.com MISSION: The South Dakota Rural Electric Association is devoted to unifying, pro- moting and protecting the interests of member electric cooperatives in South Dakota by providing leadership, training, communication, legislative representation and other member services. WE BELIEVE: That rural families in rural enterprises are a balancing force in the social and political structure that is vital to the stability, preservation and improvement of representative democratic government, of an efficient and economic productive system and of a satisfying world society; That the individually owned and operated farm is essential to the preserva- tion and enrichment of the private enterprise system; That people living in rural areas cannot successfully compete with other segments of economic structure in maintaining and improving the standard of living unless rural America does effectively organize its economic and social forces; That cooperative principles and techniques are the best ways and means for the rural people to continuously achieve these ends. Touchstone Energy® Four Core Values u Integrity u Innovation u Accountability u Commitment to Community STATEMENT OF PURPOSE The South Dakota Rural Electric Association, established in 1942, exists to serve our members. SDREA operates on the premise that, by pooling resources, members can receive services through SDREA more cost-effectively and ef- ficiently than they do on their own. We believe: 1. That we exist because of our members. We continually evaluate our ser- vices and funding to ensure they are meeting our members’ needs, while acknowledging that those needs vary and may be dictated by ongoing or emerging issues.
