This is why we need a campaign finance amendment added to the Constitution.

It has been revealed that lobbyists connected to the pharmaceutical industry bought off several politicians and influenced legislation (to be fair signed by President Obama) that helped intensify the opioid crisis.

Public servants serve the people not themselves.
