Help the PPFC Help Candidates The PPFC has both a Political Action Committee (PAC) and a Small Donor Committee (SDC). PPFC members can donate up to $400 to the PAC per election cycle and up to $50 to the SDC per calendar year. The PPFC PAC can do- nate up to $400 to a candidate, but the SDC can donate up to $4,500 to a candidate. We need to help pro-gun candidates get elected if we want to repeal the bad laws enacted in 2013 and enact more pro- tection for our right to keep and bear arms. In this current legislation session, every Republican attempt to repeal the 2013 anti-gun laws and to strengthen our rights were defeated in committee on a party-line vote. It’s obvious that the Democrats learned nothing from the re- calls; therefore, we must work to elect pro-gun candidates in November. PPFC members can play an important role by supporting our endorsed candidates with individual donations of money and time; and by donating to the PPFC PAC and SDC. You can mail a check to: PPFC PAC/SDC, PO Box 76521, Colorado Springs, CO 80970 (please send indi- vidual checks payable to PPFC PAC or PPFC SDC) or you can donate by check or credit card at the PPFC meetings.
