To: Robert Bradway, Amgen Chairman and CEO
We Demand Amgen Give Back Its Congressional Giveaway
Amgen Chairman and CEO Robert Bradway: Give back the needless $500 million giveaway Amgen extracted from Medicare in the fiscal deal.
Why is this important?
Pharmaceutical giant Amgen leveraged 74 Washington, D.C. lobbyists and more to extract a $500 million giveaway from Medicare in the so-called "fiscal cliff" deal.
This is lavish and corrupt corporate welfare at its most insidious. We may not have our own lobbyists, but Amgen owes it to us -- their customers -- to use their own expensive lobbyists to give back the very giveaway they just wheedled out of Congress.
Build public pressure to stop this needless giveaway by telling Amgen Chairman and CEO Robert Bradway to give back the taxpayer dollars his company extracted from Medicare in the recent fiscal deal.
