So–has anyone compiled a list of contributions received from Big Pharm by these 14 Democrats? I’d certainly be interested in seeing how much they’ve gotten.
All listed voted YEA to the Cochran Amendment that KILLED the bill to allow lower cost prescriptions.
You would think that this would have been important enough to bring Biden and Obama back to DC, wouldn’t you? And what about the MA senators, Kerry and Kennedy voting against lower prescription costs!
As for the others, their constituents should be barraging their offices with phone calls and e-mails to ask why.
Baucus-MT
Bayh-IN
Biden-DE (NOT VOTING)
Casper-DE
Kennedy-MA
Kerry-MA
Landrieu-LA
Lautenberg-NJ
Lieberman-CT
Obama-IL (NOT VOTING)
Reed-RI (NOT VOTING)
Rockefeller-WV
Salazar-CO
Tester-MT (NOT VOTING)
For those of you who have had it with this system, please look into the CLEAN MONEY campaigns that are trying to stop this total stranglehold the corporations have on our so-called democracy. In California last election, it was defeated by a consortium that included unions and the state Democratic party. The campaign lives on in the grassroots organizations that gave it life and will return again and again until it breaks through and wins.

THIS IS THE LINK TO DAVID SIROTA’S ARTICLE ON THIS SUBJECT
Someday all will see…. This whole government is not at all different than the one back in the days of the lion’s dens. We are kept entertained and dumb, left drifting in this smokescreen where everyone is too worried about rocking the PC boat, or too weak in their faiths to believe that this could happen to us.
How is it that 65% of the country believes that there may be aliens, believe that we may have come from the evolution of the monkey, or before that a fish, but they can’t seem to get it through their head that there is no difference between the dems and repubs? They’re all playing for the same team. They are staging 99% of everything that’s happening so as to keep us “entertained,” stressed, poor, etc, while they go about their worldwide agendas. I can’t even speak about it, or join the long list of clinton’s “accidental deaths.” It’s all part of the bush-clinton-bush-clinton agenda for world order. Anyone look up how many people were killed as a result of the clintons in their various offices? Anyone look into a certain daddy bush’s report about the JFK assination? Anyone see where they all met the night before it? Anyone happen to see GWB and daddy at the airport the night before John Jr’s plane blew up? The writings on the wall, people just have to start being able to read it.
Wonder where we’ll, I mean “they’ll,” bomb next to finish off the total military law country. Wait, we don’t have to anymore, I forgot. Next May 8th we have to carry the National ID cards at all times or we can’t buy anything or go anywhere… to protect us from the bad terrorists (the ones that may have snuck in during clinton’s open door policy). Wow, sounds like something in the bible (ya know, that book that we can’t speak of because it may offend the… 89% of people in the country who believe in it)… the end days, something about a chip, something about not being able to buy without it… hmmm.
Sorry, must have had a momentary lapse, better go suck down some more aluminum and sugar to help rot my brain. Hmmm…. where could I possibly find that stuff in our food?
I know, getting rambunctious. Must be all the potassium that’s being taken out of my food, but don’t worry. I’ll just drink more milk, take in my daily allowance of female hormones to be “passive.”
Wonder how many more lists this’ll get my name on!!!
