The 110th Congress — 2008 Session
Congress, whether under its former Republican majorities or as currently controlled by Democrats, remains, as always, a potential battleground involving the roles of Stenotype, Stenomask/Voice-Writing, and E-Reporting in the federal legal system. In the past we have seen legislation proposed to drastically alter the range and application of one or more of these current methods in U.S. District Courts, depositions, and with related proceedings such as bankruptcy and magistrates. We have also dealt with and expect more activity at the state level throughout the country. In order to be able to advocate the interests of E-Reporting effectively, we need to have resources within our Political Action Committee fund. This fund has been judiciously utilized in the past to our advantage, and we believe we can continue to work effectively in Congress and state legislative and regulatory/licensing areas with the aid of this fund. With this in mind, it is time we step forward and increase the PAC fund so we can best be prepared to deal with new initiatives. I am asking each of us to earmark $15 of our annual dues for the PAC fund — or more, by separate check. All you have to do is "check a box" on the annual renewal invoice. It's that easy. |
This does not in any way increase your outlay, yet at the same time it indicates your support for the future well-being of E-Reporting nationwide. (Remember that PAC contributions are not tax deductible -- but but $15 is such a small amount, and I am sure members join me in realizing this contribution produces such great results.) Only individuals are permitted to make this contribution, so for corporate members: please only send a check from your own personal funds or those of the individual employees, friends and supporters of E-Reporting! Let's make this "grass-roots" movement a big success. The future of E-Reporting depends on all of us!
