Bishop and Rep. McMorris Rodgers: Executive Committee Henry Beck, ME As we celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act David Damschen, UT Tim Eichenberg, NM (ADA), we can be proud of its positive impact on veterans with disabilities, while acknowledging Michael Frerichs, IL that there is much left to do. Dennis Milligan, AR Kelly Mitchell, IN The main purpose of the ADA is to provide people with disabilities equality of opportunity, full Shawn Wooden, CT participation in society, independent living, and economic self-sufficiency. But for more than two Executive Director decades after its passage, economic self-sufficiency was impossible for some. People with Shaun Snyder disabilities who need government benefits in order to live independently were blocked from saving 1201 Pennsylvania Ave, NW money. Without savings, economic self-sufficiency is unattainable. And without being able to Suite 800 fully participate in the economy, the other goals will not be fully realized. Washington, DC 20004 When the Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) Act was passed into law in 2014, many www.NAST.org Americans with disabilities were empowered to save their own money to help pay for their disability expenses without fear of losing federal and state benefits. The Act was a meaningful step forward for people with disabilities. However, it came up short. After more than five years, and on the 30th birthday of the ADA, millions of Americans with disabilities, including veterans, still remain ineligible to open an ABLE account simply because they acquired their disability after they turned 26 years old.

  • Than 100 State Legislators Join Coalition to Oppose Troubling Tobacco Tax Scheme
    For Immediate Release: Contact: Ronald J. Leone Tuesday, Sept. 20, 2016 573.864.5189 More than 100 state legislators join coalition to oppose troubling tobacco tax scheme. Jefferson City – A large bipartisan coalition of state representatives and senators from across Missouri are encouraging voters to vote “No” on a controversial constitutional amendment that contains several troubling provisions. Today, a total of 19 state senators and 91 state representatives announced their opposition to Amendment 3 and encouraged their constituents to oppose Big Tobacco's scheme. The overwhelming legislative opposition puts the majority of Missouri lawmakers on the same side as many diverse organizations that have come out against Amendment 3 - including groups that historically supported tobacco taxes. “Whether you’re Democrat or Republican, conservative or liberal, there is something in Amendment 3 for everyone and every group not to like,” said Ronald J. Leone, Executive Director of the Missouri Petroleum Marketers and Convenience Store Association (MPCA). Missouri State Senators Opposing Amendment 3 Sen. Dan Brown, R-Rolla Sen.

  • Pfizer Inc. Regarding Congruency of Political Contributions on Behalf of Tara Health Foundation
    SANFORD J. LEWIS, ATTORNEY January 28, 2021 Via electronic mail Office of Chief Counsel Division of Corporation Finance U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission 100 F Street, N.E. Washington, D.C. 20549 Re: Shareholder Proposal to Pfizer Inc. Regarding congruency of political contributions on Behalf of Tara Health Foundation Ladies and Gentlemen: Tara Health Foundation (the “Proponent”) is beneficial owner of common stock of Pfizer Inc. (the “Company”) and has submitted a shareholder proposal (the “Proposal”) to the Company. I have been asked by the Proponent to respond to the supplemental letter dated January 25, 2021 ("Supplemental Letter") sent to the Securities and Exchange Commission by Margaret M. Madden. A copy of this response letter is being emailed concurrently to Margaret M. Madden. The Company continues to assert that the proposal is substantially implemented. In essence, the Company’s original and supplemental letters imply that under the substantial implementation doctrine as the company understands it, shareholders are not entitled to make the request of this proposal for an annual examination of congruency, but that a simple written acknowledgment that Pfizer contributions will sometimes conflict with company values is all on this topic that investors are entitled to request through a shareholder proposal. The Supplemental letter makes much of the claim that the proposal does not seek reporting on “instances of incongruency” but rather on how Pfizer’s political and electioneering expenditures aligned during the preceding year against publicly stated company values and policies.” While the company has provided a blanket disclaimer of why its contributions may sometimes be incongruent, the proposal calls for an annual assessment of congruency.
