  • Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012
    VERIZON POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS JANUARY – DECEMBER 2012 1 Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012 A Message from Craig Silliman Verizon is affected by a wide variety of government policies ‐‐ from telecommunications regulation to taxation to health care and more ‐‐ that have an enormous impact on the business climate in which we operate. We owe it to our shareowners, employees and customers to advocate public policies that will enable us to compete fairly and freely in the marketplace. Political contributions are one way we support the democratic electoral process and participate in the policy dialogue. Our employees have established political action committees at the federal level and in 20 states. These political action committees (PACs) allow employees to pool their resources to support candidates for office who generally support the public policies our employees advocate. This report lists all PAC contributions, corporate political contributions, support for ballot initiatives and independent expenditures made by Verizon in 2012. The contribution process is overseen by the Corporate Governance and Policy Committee of our Board of Directors, which receives a comprehensive report and briefing on these activities at least annually. We intend to update this voluntary disclosure twice a year and publish it on our corporate website. We believe this transparency with respect to our political spending is in keeping with our commitment to good corporate governance and a further sign of our responsiveness to the interests of our shareowners. Craig L. Silliman Senior Vice President, Public Policy 2 Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012 Political Contributions Policy: Our Voice in the Political Process What are the Verizon Good Government Clubs? and the government agencies administering the federal and individual state election laws.

    October 2014 nd Nebraska 2 District Survey and Amtrak 2014 Election Questions DFM Research Dean Mitchell, Consultant Saint Paul, MN 55102 www.dfmresearch.com nd Nebraska 2 District Survey – October, 2014 Prepared by DFM Research Survey Methodology: The survey results presented are based on a stratified random sample of 450 Nebraska Congressional District 2 residents (365 which said very likely or certain to vote) contacted by landline and cell phone. The sample was stratified by region (three distinct regions) to ensure a representative sample of residents. 30% - Eastern Douglas County 53% - Western Douglas County 17% - Sarpy County After the numbers were stratified into the appropriate region, telephone numbers were then selected by random using a skip pattern to guarantee that the interviews were distributed throughout the region. Each number in the stratified sample had the same non-zero chance of being selected for an interview. Telephone interviews were conducted by trained staff of Stone Research Services of Indianapolis, Indiana, using a computer-assisted telephone interview (CATI) system for landline phones. Cell phone interviews are dialed manually to comply with the Telemarketing Consumer Protection Act of 1991. To ensure everyone in the household would have an equal chance of being selected; callers would ask to interview the resident over the age of 18 who had the most recent birthday. Final results are weighted based on gender, age, and education to conform to the approximate population (and voting population) based on the 2010 U.S. Census Bureau demographic data, as well as the 1996-2012 Voting Hot Report from the U.S.
