  • Freedom Starts Here 2018 VOTER’S GUIDE Iowa Firearms Coalition IFC-PAC 2018 Voter’S Guide
    Iowa Firearms Coalition IFC-PAC Freedom Starts Here 2018 VOTER’S GUIDE Iowa Firearms Coalition IFC-PAC 2018 Voter’s Guide What’s At Stake In The 2018 Elections Elections matter. We only have to look back a few years to see what the difference is between having a Pro-Second Amendment majority and having anti-gunners in charge in Des Moines. We spent years passing good gun bills in the Iowa House only to see them die in committee in Mike Gronstal and Rob Hogg’s Senate. The Iowa Firearms Coalition (IFC) went to work in 2016 and helped flip the Iowa Senate. What difference did it make? In 2017, Iowa passed the most significant Pro-Second Amendment bill in Iowa history. HF-517 accomplishments include: • Short Barreled Rifles/Shotguns • Permit Privacy • Preemption • Stand Your Ground • Emergency Powers • Capitol Carry • Supervised Youth Handgun Shooting • Permit Renewal Improvements • Uniform Permit Format In 2018, we took the first steps necessary to recognize - under strict scrutiny - the right to keep and bear arms into the Iowa Constitution. These successes only happened “ because of the support and “ activism of people like you! Iowa Firearms Coalition IFC-PAC 2018 Voter’s Guide Not everyone was happy with these improvements in Iowa law. In fact, we saw an unprecedented number of gun-control proposals made in the Iowa Legislature during the last General Assembly. Anti-gun bills included: • HF-2145 Reverts to “May Issue” Weapons Permits • HF-2181 Imposes a ban on private firearm transfers • HF-2180 Extreme Risk Protective Orders • SF-2025 Gun Free Zone Enforcement • HF-157 Semiautomatic Assault Weapon Ban These ridiculous gun-control measures never saw the floor for debate because the anti-gunners didn’t control either chamber.

  • 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.
