Political Action
MSNJ’s Political Action Committees, MedAC and JEMPAC, support efforts to carry the message that our healthcare system needs to be fixed to state and federal lawmakers. Your contribution could make the difference between an effective healthcare system and an ineffective one.
Contributions to MedAC/AMPAC are not deductible for federal income tax purposes. Voluntary political contributions by individuals to MedAC/AMPAC should be written on personal checks. Funds from corporations will be used for political education activities and/or state election activities where allowed. Contributions are not limited to suggested amounts. $100 of the suggested contribution amount is transmitted to AMPAC for physicians and $10 for a student or resident. Neither the AMA nor its constituent state associations will favor or disadvantage anyone based upon the amounts of or failure to make PAC contributions. Voluntary political contributions are subject to limitations of FEC regulations.
