Fellow Pensioners,
You’ve seen it on the news and in the papers, read about it in our Grapevine and Centurion
publications, heard the rumors and like many, you wonder what impact the attacks on our pension
benefits and way of life will be.
Today, no one knows for sure. But make no mistake about it; there exists great political pressure to
bring unwanted changes to our pension and health care benefits in the State of Texas and throughout
the nation. In order to prepare for this battle, SAFPPA President, Mike Trainer and your Board of
Directors have appointed a Political Action Committee.
This Committee will have the ability to raise funds from your generous donations and monthly payroll
deductions. These funds will be used to help our political allies in their quest for election and
reelection, as well as allow the PAC to help educate the public on how important it is to continue our
defined benefit pension and health care plans.
The PAC will combine with the SAFPPA Legislative Committee to interview and recommend political
candidates who are committed to supporting and protecting our well earned benefits. These
selections are limited to Texas State Legislative and San Antonio City Council candidates. Once
selected, they must be approved by a vote at our monthly Pensioners meeting or by the Board of
Directors. All donations and expenditures are legally required to be reported to the Texas Ethics
Commission bi-annually.
The SAFPPA has joined forces with the Fire and Police Associations as well as our Pension Board to
insure a united front for the battles ahead. This will allow us to focus our substantial political assets
and abilities on the issue, but ultimately our success depends on you.
So what can you do? To date over 200 pensioners have joined our PAC, but with over 2000 pensioners
we have a long way to go to reach our goal. Be prepared to volunteer some time for our selected
candidates by phone banking or block walking. Most importantly we need you to VOTE for our
candidates. Each and every one of us should be able to bring in another 10 votes from your family,
friends and neighbors. Please us the enclosed form to set up a payroll deduction and JOIN YOUR PAC
TODAY.
Thanks for your generous support!
