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.

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. -

Voting System Failures: a Database Solution
B R E N N A N CENTER FOR JUSTICE voting system failures: a database solution Lawrence Norden Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law about the brennan center for justice The Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law is a non-partisan public policy and law institute that focuses on fundamental issues of democracy and justice. Our work ranges from voting rights to campaign finance reform, from racial justice in criminal law to presidential power in the fight against terrorism. A singular institution – part think tank, part public interest law firm, part advocacy group – the Brennan Center combines scholarship, legislative and legal advocacy, and communication to win meaningful, measurable change in the public sector. about the brennan center’s voting rights and elections project The Brennan Center promotes policies that protect rights, equal electoral access, and increased political participation on the national, state and local levels. The Voting Rights and Elections Project works to expend the franchise, to make it as simple as possible for every eligible American to vote, and to ensure that every vote cast is accurately recorded and counted. The Center’s staff provides top-flight legal and policy assistance on a broad range of election administration issues, including voter registration systems, voting technology, voter identification, statewide voter registration list maintenance, and provisional ballots. The Help America Vote Act in 2002 required states to replace antiquated voting machines with new electronic voting systems, but jurisdictions had little guidance on how to evaluate new voting technology. The Center convened four panels of experts, who conducted the first comprehensive analyses of electronic voting systems. -

November 28, 2017 The Hon. Trayon White, Sr. Council of the District of Columbia The John A. Wilson Building 1350 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Suite 400 Washington, DC 20004 Dear Councilmember White: This responds to your request that the Office of the District of Columbia Auditor (ODCA) conduct a review of Ward 8 contracts, particularly those for community engagement services, and those held by entities located at a particular address, to determine whether required procurement procedures have been followed. Our review included Internet searches, Lexis runs, and gathering contract information from the Office of Contracting and Procurement (OCP) website, the Department of General Services (DGS) website, and Events DC. We also obtained information regarding Certified Business Enterprises (CBE) from the Department of Small and Local Business Development (DSLBD). We have completed our review. We did not find evidence of violation of procurement rules though, as indicated below, we found: • Inconsistencies in rental information provided by businesses using the address in question. • The appearance of deliberate avoidance of Council review of contracts. • The appearance of use of the property not consistent with the zoning variance. Businesses at 3215 Martin Luther King, Jr., Avenue There are more than 30 companies that use the address 3215 Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue, SE, Washington, DC, 20032 (hereinafter referred to as “3215 MLK”). As described below in more detail, anomalies in the commercial lease agreements for these companies, as well as the sheer number of companies that appear to be using 3215 MLK as their address, suggest that some or all of these businesses may not have been operating out of that location during the relevant time periods. -
