[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 272287, member: 927"] A few couple of years ago, I had the opportunity to meet most of our representatives in Washington and see first hand where our PAC money goes. It opened my eyes to how the process works and why we need UPSPAC. Personally, I don't like the idea of PACS, but found them to be necessary in todays political process. It was not like bribery (as someone stated), but more like advertising. Its the way that exists to tell your story. I had a chance to talk with a few members of congress. I used that opportunity to explain what a great company UPS is. Here is a website that breaks out different PACS and who they donate to: [URL]http://www.opensecrets.org/pacs/topacs.asp?cycle=2008&Type=E[/URL] It confirms that UPS is the 14th largest contributor to Federal candidates at $788K For total contributions, UPS is 17th, at $1.98M. By the way, the Teamsters are number 7 at $4.75 million. P-Man [/QUOTE]
