Help the AICPA Help You: Join the Capitol Club.

By promoting the profession's interests in federal elections and in the Congress, the AICPA advances the advocacy goals of the accounting profession. But advocacy is more than understanding the issues. To make a difference, you have to help elect pro-business candidates to the U.S. House and Senate who share the profession's views.

The AICPA's political action committee, the Effective Legislation Committee (ELC), receives personal contributions from AICPA members and in turn uses them to provide financial assistance to like-minded candidates for the U.S. Congress.

Though the AICPA values each member's ELC donation and is appreciative of any amount you would like to personally con tribute, the ELC invites you to join its newly created, exclusive donor club, the "Capitol Club," for those able to give at certain levels. In addition to assisting our political program, you will receive a Capitol Club lapel pin symbolizing your donor level to wear at AICPA conferences and meetings held throughout the year.

You can make a difference by simply filling out the attached coupon and mailing your personal check to the AICPA. Take this opportunity to get off the sidelines and into the game by joining the thousands of your fellow CPAs involved with the political system.
