Political Action Committee
In September 2011, Fimian started the Growth, Opportunity, and Prosperity (GOP) Fund, a political action committee which seeks "to elect pro-business candidates dedicated to keeping Virginia a great state for business by building a vibrant economy in every corner of the Commonwealth." The PAC had raised over $235,000 by its first Federal Election Commission quarterly filing deadline on September 30, 2011, and had raised over $300,000 by its first state filing deadline on October 17, 2011. Fimian proceeded to give nearly $100,000 in PAC money to Republican candidates for the General Assembly and local offices in the 2011 elections, making contributions to 47 candidates (including the maximum $5,000 contribution to a dozen state Senate candidates).

Famous quotes containing the words political, action and/or committee:
“Every community is an association of some kind and every community is established with a view to some good; for everyone always acts in order to obtain that which they think good. But, if all communities aim at some good, the state or political community, which is the highest of all, and which embraces all the rest, aims at good in a greater degree than any other, and at the highest good.”
—Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
“It is most pleasant to commit a just action which is disagreeable to someone whom one does not like.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
“Like other cities created overnight in the Outlet, Woodward acquired between noon and sunset of September 16, 1893, a population of five thousand; and that night a voluntary committee on law and order sent around the warning, “if you must shoot, shoot straight up!””
—State of Oklahoma, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
