Big Pharma shill Marsha Blackburn was happy to let opioids flood the market.

This is being reported in the media...here are some concise words from James Mackler, her Democratic opponent in the upcoming race to fill Bob Corker's Senate seat:
"Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn championed a bill “that weakened law enforcement’s ability to curb the flow of pain pills to the black market.” And the pharmaceutical industry pedaled $120,000 to her personal campaign account.

These facts tell us all we need to know about Marsha Blackburn's priorities.

Blackburn said that the bill had “unintended consequences.” She was right -- it did. And she should be held accountable.

That is why I am calling on Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn to formally withdraw from the U.S. Senate race. Sign my petition if you agree.

Thank you,
James
