Why Support Rural Water PAC?
Why Is There a Need for a PAC?
To be competitive in today's political climate, we must be able to financially support candidates sympathetic to rural water issues. This can only be done effectively through an organized PAC.
Why Should You Contribute?
Because collective PAC contributions create a stronger united voice for rural water concerns than does a single direct contribution.
Who Can Contribute to the PAC?
The Office of the Attorney General, State of Alabama, has stated the following:
- Members of the Rural Water Association who are separately incorporated from a county, city, or town may make contributions. This includes water, sewer, & fire protection authorities, systems or co-ops organized under article 10-4-190, business corporations and non-profit corporations.
- Any individual may make contributions (copy of complete Attorney General's Opinion available upon request)
Important Notice
The purpose of Rural Water PAC is to improve state government by encouraging individuals to run for political office and to make contributions of funds to such state candidates and campaign committees as shall be determined to be in the best interest of Rural Water PAC. Contributions to Rural Water PAC are voluntary and are not a condition of membership in the Alabama Rural Water Association. You have the right to refuse to contribute without any reprisal. The Alabama Rural Water Association will not favor or disadvantage any member by reason of the amount of their contribution or their decision not to contribute.
