Please take a minute and watch this 60 Minutes story about how the drug industry has taken over our democracy and how MARSHA BLACKBURN, who is running for US Senate for Tennessee (Sen. Corker's seat), helped the pharmaceutical industry cut the legs from under the DEA by making them unable to prosecute drug distributors. If your family has been touched by drugs, you will be as angry as I am at this. It is not a Democrat or Republican thing - it is a crime against AMERICANS!
