PhRMA Lies and Misleads – Shocker!

A photo of Congresswoman Barbara Lee, a great fighter for progressives, was used without her permission in a PhRMA mailer to deceive California voters on a upcoming ballot measure. This is yet another example of how PhRMA will lie, steal and cheat to ensure nothing damages their bottom line.

WASHINGTON - A mailer targeting black California voters pictures a dozen prominent black lawmakers next to an endorsement of a prescription drug initiative on the Nov. 8 ballot that some of them strongly oppose.

Several of the lawmakers on Thursday denounced the Proposition 78 mailer, which was sent by a group funded by the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, or PhRMA, the powerful lobbying organization for the nation's drug companies.
