Call your Democratic senator(s): Shame on them for voting with the pharmaceutical industry on prescription drug prices

With Donald Trump coming into office, it is now more important than ever that Democrats stand firm against corporate power and stand up for the people.

But on January 11, thirteen Senate Democrats voted against an amendment that would have allowed for cheaper importation of prescription drugs from Canada.

The measure failed 46-52, because these 13 Senators sided with the pharmaceutical industry over their constituents and the vast majority of Democrats.

You live in one of 10 states where at least one Democratic Senator voted against this amendment. Please call your Senator(s) now:

Please only call Senators from the state you reside. When you reach an aide or a voice-mail machine, please leave the following message:

My name is ___________, and I am a constituent from ___________. I am outraged that you voted against Senate Amendment 178 that would have allowed for lower prescription drug prices for Americans by importing drugs from Canada.

Donald Trump will be President, and Republicans control the Senate. The next two years are going to be awful, and I am counting on Democrats to side with the people over the powerful.

By voting no on this amendment, you sided with the pharmaceutical industry against us.

After completing the phone call, please fill out the form and give us your feedback.
