Jim Himes on Fox WNYW

Thanks for posting that (4.00 / 1)

I just called the congressman's office and asked that he vote against any bill without a public option. As expected I didn't get a committment one way or another.

I let the staffer know that we're following the money with Jim. It seems like the healtcare interests are making quite an investment here. Over $50K for the new congressman barely 9 months in office according to the FEC.

About $32K from the Pharmaceutical Industry
