Contribute $50 ($100 For Married Couples)
To The Shilepsky for
Secretary of State Campaign
and
Get Your Money Back!
It's called the Minnesota Political Contribution Refund (PCR) Program. It is intended to encourage citizens to contribute to Minnesota political parties and candidates for state offices who have agreed to observe the state campaign spending limit law.
Alan Shilepsky has so agreed and is therefore eligible to participate in the PCR program. Alan also refuses to accept any PAC money, so it is especially important for his supporters to take advantage of the PCR program to help Alan pay the costs of running a statewide campaign.
The underlying goal of this publicly-funded program is to make it unnecessary for candidates to accept large contributions from individual donors and lobbying groups by providing candidates
with enough small contributions to adequately finance their campaigns. Here's how it works:
If you are eligible to vote in Minnesota, up to $50 ($100 for married couples) of your 1998 contribution to Alan Shilepsky's Campaign (address below) can be refunded to you by the State of Minnesota.
You write a contribution check to the Shilepsky campaign (address below). We'll send you your PCR receipt and the form you use to claim your refund. You send the receipt and form to the Minnesota Department of Revenue. SPECIAL NOTE: A contribution from a couple should have both signatures on the check or a notation on it saying from both. We need both names, including middle initials, to issue a joint PCR reciept.
In about three to six weeks (longer during the January - April tax season), you will receive your PCR refund check from the State. It's that easy!
