Pharmaceutical Drug Lobby Showers Money On Its Hero Harry Reid


One of the most powerful lobbies, the pharmaceutical drugs lobby, when it supports those running for public office there is one politico they treasure the most: USA Senate Majority head, Harry Reid, (D/NV).

Also this USA Senator is the most targeted by the GOP for defeat come this November, as Sharon Angle is Senator Reid’s challenger.

But the pharmaceutical drugs lobby is pouring support to Sen. Reid, via a group, which is really a political action committee or a PAC set up by the pharmaceutical drug lobby called “Nevada Families”.

From The Washington Examiner website:”The drug lobby has begun a pro-Reid TV blitz in his home state of Nevada. One ad praises Reid for saving jobs and for understanding that “good jobs with good benefits [mean] a better future.” The narrator then instructs viewers to “call Harry Reid today; tell him to keep fighting for Nevada families.”
But “Nevada families” didn’t pay for the ad. The drug lobby did. And while the TV spot makes only passing reference to the health care bill passed in March, there’s no doubt this ad buy — and the rest of the drug industry’s generosity toward Harry Reid — is a big thank you for the corporate-welfare “reform” bill that Reid shepherded through the Senate.
Flash back one year to last July, when Democratic congressmen going home for the Independence Day recess began to hear from their constituents about Obamacare, with the result that “reform” was threatened. That’s when top drug lobbyist Billy Tauzin came to the rescue.”

But those who live in Nevada would not know it, unless these same folks do their homework.

Look for the pharmaceutical lobby to pony up the money for Sen. Reid’s re-election efforts. I do hope also that Sharon Angle will also have the support, besides the tea party people out in Nevada to come out with their support for her. She will need it.
