The pharmaceutical and health products industry spent over $40 million more in 2013 on lobbying than any other industry. If that fact isn't shocking enough, then consider the Pharm/Health industry's spending in 2013 was actually a 10 million dollar cut from its 2012 spending ($236,140,389).

Let me think... If we...the ordinary citizens (as ignorant as we are, Mr. Gruber)are not there after we elect these guys & gals, then WHO fills the vacuum?? Lobbyists!

Learn how to take back all now SIX levels of government! Find out there is NO difference. Take a class from www.CenterForSelfGovernance.c… in one of 18 states near you.This is the MOST important training I have had since Medical School and Residency!

Unfortunately, we have made it increasingly easy for big business to worm its way into politics. How much different from straight out blackmail is it really for a corporation or industry to threaten to switch campaign funding to your rival if you don't vote a certain way in Congress?
