Dems Unite With Reps On This One Issue

Sep 15, 2025

The Opportunity of a Lifetime Could Easily Be Derailed

Big Pharma has united some Republicans with Democrats. The Democrats oppose anything that President Trump supports. But some Republicans have united with Democrats over Big Pharma against Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (RFK) for daring to look at science with a mission to make our nation healthy.

Pharmaceutical companies have spent 6.47 BILLION DOLLARS lobbying Congress members since 1998. This is the definition of a conflict-laden echo chamber to drown out the voices of reason hoping you won’t notice. We hope you do notice and help fight back against Big Pharma profiting off a nation where 60% of the people are clinically unhealthy — and that number rises every year.

Urge Congress to support RFK against the Big Pharma chokehold.

It might surprise you, but on the Senate Finance Committee, of the 2 million dollars donated, most of it went to Republicans.

Republicans took roughly 1.5 million — about three-quarters of the total — while Democrats (and the committee’s so-called “independent”) took the remaining quarter. In other words, within Finance, Big Pharma funded Republicans at roughly three times the level of Democrats in 2023–2024 on this committee.

Both Republicans and Democrats are heavily influenced by Big Pharma’s money. To give you an idea of what is at stake for these legislators:

  • Bill Cassidy (R-LA) received 1,268,666 dollars from Big Pharma (code H04) and an additional 4,057,033 dollars from Health Professionals between 2007-2024.

  • Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), a conservative, received 1,382,192 dollars from Big Pharma and another 2,314,392 dollars from Health Professionals between 1991–2024.

  • John Barrasso (R-WY) received 913,194 dollars from Big Pharma plus 2,125,306 dollars from Health Professionals between 1995–2024.

  • Thom Tillis (R-NC) received 951,219 dollars from Big Pharma and 1,406,312 dollars from Health Professionals between 2013–2024.

  • Bernie Sanders (I-VT) received 20,388,190 dollars for “Health” between 1989-2024.

  • And in the presidential campaign, Kamala Harris received 8,652,114 dollars in 2023-2024 alone.

We cannot assume anyone will side with what is best for the people when it clashes with what’s best for their donors’ pocketbooks — unless there is relentless accountability from constituents. Tell Congress that our health is more important than their campaign account.



The best news is this: Dollars don’t vote. We do.


Even in the shadow of big checks, the Achilles heel is their voters. Offices tell us most voters never call, never email, never fax. That’s why your message is so critical.



This is a battle we can win IF we are not SILENT.

Fuel this fight. . .

We’ve been on the front lines during the COVID mandates. We stood up for religious freedom, conscience, and informed consent. Many people told us that our team saved their lives and livelihood.
