Campaign Unavailable

We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit Alliance for Retired Americans.

The short explanation of this alert was:

The U.S. Senate will debate a bill this week to permit Medicare negotiations with drug companies for lower prescription drug prices.  The U.S. House passed legislation in January mandating Medicare negotiations.  The drug industry is spending millions to stop this legislation.  Its friends in the Senate are threatening a filibuster.  Its best friend, President Bush, is threatening a veto.  We must tell our senators to stand with seniors and not the drug industry. 

The Senate bill, known as S. 3, will repeal the provision in the Medicare drug law that forbids negotiations with drug companies. 

Here’s what you can do:

1. Please email the attached letter to your senators today.

2. Please call your senators’ offices using this toll free number 1-877-331-1223 and ask them to vote for S. 3.

3.  Forward this email to friends and ask them to write and call.
