MYTH #1
PAC DOLLARS ONLY GO
TO ONE PARTY.
We are bipartisan. We don't favor
one political party over another.
We support both Republicans
and Democrats.
MYTH #2
ATPE-PAC IS FUNDED BY
ATPE MEMBERSHIP DUES.
By law, your ATPE membership
dues dollars can't be used to fund
ATPE-PAC, which is why we rely on
individual, voluntary donations.
MYTH #3
DONORS ARE REQUIRED TO
MAKE LARGE CONTRIBUTIONS.
There's no minimum contribution
amount. The amount you give is
completely up to you. You can make
a one-time online contribution using
a debit or credit card, or set up
monthly or quarterly ATPE-PAC
donations of as little as $5.

WHY should you help?
Because we need to ensure that those in office are fighting for
quality educational standards and protecting your professional
interests. We are facing a barrage of attacks on public education
this legislative session—from efforts to divert your hard-earned tax
dollars to private schools with little or no accountability to bills that
threaten associations like ATPE by eliminating your right to pay for
membership dues via payroll deduction.
HOW can you help?
Your voluntary donations to the ATPE Political Action Committee
(ATPE-PAC) are used to make bipartisan contributions to
officeholders/candidates who support public education and
ATPE's philosophies.
WHEN should you help?
Now is a critical time to donate. Our annual PAC's Peak Challenge
goal is to raise $25,000 for ATPE-PAC by May 1. The election season
will soon be here and it's essential that we have a healthy fund.
IT'S MORE IMPORTANT THAN
EVER TO SUPPORT OFFICEHOLDERS
AND CANDIDATES WHO SUPPORT
PUBLIC EDUCATION.
