  • 2018-Mid-Year-Political-Contributions
    1 Verizon Political Activity January – June 2018 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 18 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 and its affiliates during the first half of 2018. 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 Executive Vice President, Public Policy and General Counsel 2 Verizon Political Activity January – June 2018 Political Contributions Policy: Our Voice in the Democratic Process What are the Verizon Political Action Committees? regulations govern many aspects of the contributions process including the setting of monetary contribution limitations and The Verizon Political Action Committees (PACs) exist to help the establishment of periodic reporting requirements.

  • 2020 VPAP Annual Report
    Staying Nimble FINDING NEW WAYS TO ELEVATE PUBLIC UNDERSTANDING Top of the News 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Ballot ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Letter from the Board Chair On many levels, 2020 was both historic and humbling. A global pandemic and economic crisis. Social unrest and calls for racial justice. Political extremism and democracy under siege. Any one of these topics would be enough to contend with in a normal year, but at once 2020 brought many issues into plain sight. What we learned last year is that at a time of uncertainty and upheaval, the public’s hunger for reliable news and information grows exponentially. The STAFF challenge for the Virginia Public Access Project was to meet that demand, while adapting to remote work and rethinking nearly every aspect of our operation. David M. Poole Executive Director We enhanced VaNews to add “Top of the News” for those who value a quick summary of headlines. We developed a COVID-19 dashboard to make it easy Ric Arenstein to track coronavirus cases and deaths as reported by the Virginia Department Major Gifts Officer of Health. And we modified our traditional election night coverage to account for early voting and delayed returns. Rachel Dominy Graphic Design and I am proud of the many ways, large and small, the VPAP team seized Communications Manager opportunity and adapted during such a challenging year. You will find a few of those instances outlined in this annual report. Jason Kostyk Data Developer All of this success was made possible by the encouragement and support of our nearly 1,500 donors.

Box 48 City/Town Fairfax State/Province VA ZIP/Postal Code 22038 Email Address [email protected] Phone Number 7036720791 Page 3: Question 1: Early Learning Q2 Virginia is known to have a ‘non-system’ of early learning where programs operate under different departments and sets of rules. What would you do to better link programs and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of Virginia’s early learning programs? Virginia’s students deserve access to quality early childhood education regardless of their socioeconomic status or where they live. As Lieutenant Governor, I will work to implement universal Pre-K education for our students and increase funding for the Virginia Preschool Initiative. I will also advocate the coordination of rule-making and central operations for early childhood education. Page 4: Question 2: Foster Care Q3 Most children entering foster care are returned to their families. In most cases, these families do not receive additional support and services from the child welfare system, which can lead to poor health and education outcomes for children. How do you think the Commonwealth can better support children once they are returned to their families? It is our responsibility to ensure that children in our communities are safe, including once they return home from foster care. As a Commonwealth, we can provide preventative programs to support families as a whole to help them gain parenting and communication skills, learn appropriate developmental stages, and provide wrap-around assistance to address the underlying issues that lead a family to come into contact with Child Protective Services.

  • Why Do You Need That Gun? Your Comments Needed
    A Publication of Virginia Citizens Defense League, Inc. ♦ Summer 2016 ♦ WHY DO YOU NEED THAT GUN? VCDL IN NATIONAL NEWS How many of us have ever been asked “Why do you need that gun?” Perhaps it’s a spouse, or a family member, or a friend — or an anti-gunner. How do you answer? Here’s some food for thought. The item was originally written by an individual who prefers to remain unnamed, partly because the answer is irrelevant, and partly to avoid noting he may have guns in his home. The individual was responding to a friend after announcing he had ordered a gun through his dealer. Your Editor has chosen to respect this request. Your question... why do I NEED this gun, is the same as that asked by anti-gunners, and for the same reason. Implicit in the question is the statement, "I don't need it; why do you?" I'm not saying that you or your question is anti-gun, but am pointing out the similarity based on a self-perceived notion of "need." I don't need that gun, and I wouldn't buy it rather than pay the rent, buy baby formula or have the cancer surgery. You might ask Jay Leno the same question about his cars and, if he doesn't say "f-off", you'll probably get the same answer. Jay Leno likes his cars, can afford them and they provide him entertainment and challenge for that time of his life which he probably believes, he deserves. I like to buy guns.

    The Newsletter of the Tidewater Dental Association VOL. LXII, NO. 1 EDITOR: ROD M. ROGGE, D.D.S. WINTER 2019 ANNUAL VDA DAY ON THE HILL Twelve members of the Tidewater Dental Association attended the Annual VDA Day on the Hill on January 18, 2019. The key note address featured Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax, an attorney, a graduate of Duke and Columbia Universities, and a board member of Duke University. He spoke to the Virginia Dental Association members on several dental issues, and enthusiastically applauded the VDA’s Missions of Mercy, Donated Dental Services, and Give Kids a Smile programs. His wife is a practicing dentist in Fairfax, and he spoke very knowledgably about the finan- cial and business challenges dentists face today. Later on that same day, he stepped on the dais of the Virginia Senate to protest a commemoration of Robert E. Lee. He described the freedom document of his great-great- Drs Laxa, Clark, Morgan, Meares, Zapatero, Leidy, Rogge great grandfather, which he received only last year. Before with Sen DeSteph’s aide he went to the General Assembly, he gave the VDA mem- bers a brief history of how this document was presented to him last January at his inauguration, and how his family name was acquired from Lord Fairfax, who freed his ances- tor. It was a very moving story, and was a stirring example of an American success story. Drs.
