  • Our Voice in the Political Process
    PFIZER PAC OUR VOICE IN THE POLITICAL PROCESS 1 Pfizer PAC & Corporate Political Contributions Report January - December 2009 Learn which candidates we supported in your community. Pfizer PAC ~ Our Voice in the Political Process A Message from Sally Susman, Chair, Pfizer PAC Dear Colleagues: Every day, our patients benefit from life-changing medicines. Part of Our Path Forward as the world’s premier biopharmaceutical company is to engage stakeholders on the value these innovations bring to patients, doctors, payers, and governments. One group of stakeholders that we engage is elected officials at all levels of government. The national health care reform debate has brought into sharp focus the necessity of our involvement in the political process. During the past year, we have actively supported the right kind of health care reforms that will expand coverage, improve quality of care, and provide value to patients. We have also made lawmakers aware of the detrimental effects of certain proposals that would restrict patient access to care and stifle biopharmaceutical innovation. 2 As we engage elected officials to move our legislative agenda forward, Pfizer PAC supports candidates who are committed to maintaining and improving incentives for innovation and protecting and expanding patients’ access to innovative medicines. I am pleased to share this political contributions report, which includes a list of candidates and political committees that the Pfizer PAC supported in 2009. Pfizer PAC is bipartisan; we were able to support 1,092 candidates during the year in all levels of government and from both political parties. I hope that you will take a few moments to review this report and see which candidates Pfizer PAC supported in your state and district.

  • Sheldon Silver, Speaker Transportation
    New York State Assembly | Sheldon Silver, Speaker committee on Transportation David F. Gantt, Chairman December 15, 2009 Honorable Sheldon Silver Speaker of the New York State Assembly Room 932, Legislative Office Building Albany, NY 12248 Dear Mr. Speaker: I am pleased to submit to you the 2009 Annual Report of the Assembly Standing Committee on Transportation. The 2009 Legislative Session was a notable year in Committee achievements on issues relating to transportation safety, which remains one of the chief priorities of the Committee. Due in part to the Committee’s continued success in enacting stronger safety laws and in implementing key traffic safety performance measures, New York has seen the number and rate of traffic fatalities improve. For example, from 2004 to 2008 the number of motor vehicle fatalities dropped 18%, while in 2007 the fatality rate dropped to 0.97%. Building on the legislative successes of previous sessions, several bills reported out of the Committee this year were enacted into law. Among them were laws that addressed unsafe driving behaviors, driver inexperience, and child passenger safety. Further among this year’s accomplishments was the passage of “Leandra’s Law,” the strongest law against driving while intoxicated (DWI) in the nation. Leandra was one of a number of children in the State this year killed, seriously injured, or endangered before the hands of drunk or drug-impaired drivers. In an effort to deter such reckless behavior, this new law makes it a felony to drive drunk or drug-impaired with a child in the vehicle, while mandating that all convicted drunk drivers install ignition interlock devices on their vehicles.
