G o v e rn men t Relat ions Please make a 2020 donation to PADPAC! Here are the club levels: In our constant efforts to bring PDA legislative victories PADPAC does everything possible to create the conditions for victory. Our preparatory work in November and December should be a big help in making 2020 one of our best years ever. PADPAC touches every base in order to bring the runner (our legislation) home. We will continue to work every angle to pass legislation that benefits PDA dentists and the patients for whom they care. President’s Club $2,500+ One of the best ways to do your part on the road to success is to become a PADPAC member and a PADPAC contributor. By contributing to PADPAC you are directly making a significant and positive impact in your professional life and in your professional organization, PDA. Liberty Club $1,000 - $2,499 Capitol Club $500 - $999 Keystone Club $200 - $499 Century Club $120 - $199 If you have any questions about making a contribution to PADPAC, please contact John Basial at [email protected] or (800) 223-0016, ext. 108. You can also contribute online by visiting padental.org/padpac. Just as campaign contributions are the lifeblood of a political campaign so is a PADPAC contribution essential for the health of your PAC. Your valued contributions are what we use to impact the electoral landscape for the benefit of you and your patients. This year we are having a PADPAC contributor appreciation event at a Phillies game in one of the suites. Every PAC member who contributes $500 or more will be eligible to attend. Please encourage others in your profession to join PDA and PADPAC. When you contribute to your PADPAC please pay with your personal check or credit card because if you pay via a corporate card or check it limits PDA’s strategic flexibility. We know that making personal contributions (hard dollars) is a sacrifice. We take that sacrifice very seriously by only spending your hard earned dollars where necessary. The truth is, we need hard dollars to win. In order to compete with the insurance lobbyists, one of the most formidable opponents in Pennsylvania politics, we need hard dollars to support those elected officials who believe in you and support you. If you don’t want to make a lump sum contribution you can make monthly contributions which may be easier or more convenient for you. If you choose the monthly contribution, by the end of the year you will have made a significant contribution towards your PAC. $100 per month for 12 months is over $1,000. That’s only a little over $3 a day. $50 per month per month for 12 months is $600. That’s less than $2 a day. The day to day impact on you is pretty minimal, but the end of the year contribution to the PAC is a major help in moving your agenda forward. That type of contribution makes a big difference in strengthening your PAC and allowing us to have greater access and more decisive input into the various campaigns we contribute towards. ® “Dentists helping Dentists” Our company provides a valuable two-sided service by: n Credentialing and contracting locum tenens dentists n Matching dental practices with highly qualified practitioners Ph: 610-216-2899 Fax: 412-235-7200 [email protected] www.doctorfillin.com MARCH/AP RIL 2020 | P EN N SYLVAN IA DEN TAL JOURNAL 9
