My rep ran heavily on reigning in prescription drug prices. So I just emailed her using the helpful messaging from the newsletter. Hopefully this is more centrist performative theatre and Pelosi and other progressives can get these clowns back in line.

Maybe not so much centrist theater as much as it is plain old grift.

Could be. Either way these buffoons need to pay a heavy political price. Hopefully just the collective ire of the president and democratic caucus is enough otherwise someone should start a primary fund and very publicly rake in donations.

I just created a petition about this. I'm in Schrader's district in Oregon, so I focused it on that because I think targeting him directly as a constituent will be most effective. He doesn't get many challenges around here and it is a relatively safe Dem seat. Here is the link if anyone is interested in signing or copying: https://sign.moveon.org/petitions/representative-schrader-support-medicare-and-allow-them-to-negotiate-drug-prices-with-big-pharma?source=rawlink&utm_source=rawlink&share=b634496e-ae7f-43fd-8f3a-a53c3c54e426

Is there anything people outside of their district can do to help? I feel like contacting all Democrats in their districts with this info.

Is the issue Pharma money and/or the odious Mark Penn influence?
