    FEB 27: Stop Gerrymandering Now! - Atlanta, GA Mon Feb 27th 4:00pm - 8:00pm AtlantaGAGeorgiaVoting 18 Capitol Square SW, Atlanta, GA 30334, USA map Sen Elena Parent and 5 other Senators have sponsored Resolutions S.R. 6 and S.R. 7, calling for an amendment to the Georgia Constitution creating an independent bipartisan commission to draw voting districts. The hearing for these resolutions will be at the last minute before crossover day, on Monday Feb 27 at 4 pm in room 307 of the Coverdell Legislative Office Building. We need to show up at the meeting and demand a vote that day. Our votes matter! We demand fair and equal representation! Partisan legislatures have been violating federal mandate for decades, by drawing voting district boundaries to favor the party in power. It’s called Gerrymandering. Gerrymandering undermines fair representation and competitive elections. Gerrymandered districts cheat voters by making some votes count more than others. It’s not hard to see that partisan legislators have a vested interested in the outcome. The good news is Sen Elena Parent and 5 other Senators have sponsored Resolutions S.R. 6 and S.R. 7, which call for an amendment to the Georgia Constitution creating an independent bipartisan commission to draw voting districts instead of the General Assembly. Georgia would join 6 other forward-looking states if it adopted the independent commission approach to redistricting. More good news is that Senator Ben Watson of the Reapportionment and Redistricting Committee has agreed to hold a hearing on the resolutions. But, the hearing is at the 11 th hour before Crossover Day, when bills in each house must crossover to the other house for consideration.

Lilly has a comprehensive government relations operation to have a voice in the public policymaking process at both the state and federal levels. Lilly is committed to participating in the political process as a responsible corporate citizen to help inform the U.S. debate over health care and pharmaceutical innovation. As a company that operates in a highly competitive and regulated industry, Lilly must participate in the political process to fulfill its fiduciary responsibility to its shareholders, and its overall responsibilities to its customers and its employees. Corporate Political Contribution Elected officials, no matter what level, have an impact on public policy issues affecting Lilly. We are committed to backing candidates who support public policies that contribute to pharmaceutical innovation and healthy patients. A number of factors are considered when reviewing candidates for support. The following evaluation criteria are used to allocate political contributions: • Has the candidate historically voted or announced positions on issues of importance to Lilly, such as pharmaceutical innovation and health care? • Has the candidate demonstrated leadership on key committees of importance to our business? • Does the candidate demonstrate potential for legislative leadership?
