Because of the corrupt actions of 13 treasonous Democrats.<\/p>\n
The Democrats\u00a0could have passed\u00a0Bernie\u00a0Sanders\u2019\u00a0amendment but chose against it. 12 Republicans,\u00a0including Ted Cruz and Rand Paul\u00a0voted with Bernie. \u00a0The Democrats had the numbers. But these Democratic Senators, traitors to the 99%, voted against the amendment.<\/p>\n
Here is the list of Democrats who voted \u201cNay\u201d:<\/p>\n
Michael Bennet (D-CO)
\nCory Booker (D-NJ)
\nMaria Cantwell (D-WA)
\nThomas R. Carper (D-DE)
\nBob Casey, Jr (D-PA)
\nChris Coons (D-DE)
\nJoe Donnelly (D-IN)
\nMartin Heinrich (D-NM)
\nHedi Heitkamp (D-ND)
\nRobert Menendez (D-NJ)
\nPatty Murray (D-WA)
\nJon Tester (D-MT)
\nMark Warner (D-VA)<\/p>\n
If you are scratching your head and wondering why these 13 Democrats voted against such a no-brainer of an amendment, I have some advice for you: follow the money.<\/strong><\/p>\n A search of Opensecrets.com<\/em> reveals that Thomas Carper<\/a> and Chris Coons<\/a>\u00a0have \u201cPharma\u201d and just \u201clobbyists\u201d in\u00a0their top 5 campaign contributors. Carper even has Astrazeneca as one of his top contributors. Follow the money and you can see why these guys voted no.<\/p>\n Heres what the rest of the treasonous 13 received from Pharma only:<\/p>\n All of these guys get a good chunk of their campaign funding directly from Big Pharma. They are not representing the interests of the people \u2013 they are representing the interests of the Pharmaceuticals industry and their own personal greed.<\/p>\n This chart breaks down the differences in Pharma contributions between those who voted Yay and those who voted No. Take what you want from it, but it clearly shows those who voted against the amendment receive double from Pharma compared to those who voted to reduce prescription prices for everyday Americans.<\/p>\n Big Pharma and insurance was in a\u00a0position to lose with this amendment. The 99% was in a a position to win. Don\u2019t be fooled by any nonsense, this amendment was voted down because of nothing other than\u00a0corruption and money.<\/p>\n\n
