L-PEC is the group of PASR volunteers who solicit
voluntary contributions from members for a fund to support our legislative
efforts. These funds are used to provide our grass roots Legislative
Committees at the local, regional, nd state levels with the materials
they need to advance our Association's legilative agenda.
We do not use these funds to endorse or
support political candidates or political parties. PASR is non-partisan.
But we do use these funds to support our efforts to affect
legislation. The following are examples of how L-PEC funds have
been used recently:
- L-PEC funds paid for a workshop for all our
chapter and region Legislative Chairmen showing them how to better
communicate with our state legislators.
- L-PEC funds paid for publishing a booklet
listing names, addresses, phone numbers, etc. of Pennsylvania
Lawmakers and other government officials.
- L-PEC funds have paid printing and postage
expenses for literature that was sent to all our legislative contact
volunteers at our grass roots organizations. This type of material
was very important when we were working to have our last COLA
bill passed and continues to be important for accomplishing our
current legislative agenda.
