this past wednesday, january 11th, 13 democrats joined the republican party to kill an amendment that would allow americans to buy cheaper prescription drugs from canada, a health care initiative overwhelmingly supported by about 70% of the country.
below is a list of the 13 democrats who voted to prevent all of us from buying cheaper medication, these democrats also receive more money from the pharmaceutical industry than their party colleagues, in the senate, with cory booker receiving the most corporate money.
democrats, like this group of 13, who place corporate profit over everyday americans will prevent the dp from winning in 2018 and 2020. tell these politicians 'no', if you're a citizen in one of these states, please click their name to contact your senator.
