Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn has taken over $700,000 in campaign contributions from the opioid industry and has passed legislation to stop the DEA from keeping drugs off our streets. Tennesseans pay almost $4,800 per capita a year to fight the opioid epidemic. Thousands of Tennesseans die of opioid overdoses each year. But Marsha Blackburn takes the side of the opioid industry.
It's time for her to stop. Demand that she give back every cent that she has taken from the opioid industry and begin standing up for the health and well-being of Tennesseans.

The silence from the office of Congresswoman Blackburn remains telling despite the growing volume of concern regarding these campaign contributions. I am currently compiling a report on these financial ties to present to regional media outlets in the coming weeks.

The momentum surrounding this petition confirms that Tennesseans are no longer willing to ignore the influence of the opioid industry on our leadership. We have reached a point where this demand can no longer be dismissed by those in power. It is time to ensure our representatives prioritize the health of their constituents over campaign contributions.

She will never get my vote since she crippled the DEA's ability to go after distributors. She doesn't deserve to profit from legal drug dealers. GIVE BACK THE MONEY!
Marsha, Marsha, Marsha... you have to start working for us, not big business. Give back the dark, dirty $$$
Blackburn also pads her pocket with $$$$ with Big Lick abusers!!! She sores her own horses!!!!!!!
Unbelievable she is in office still
Sick and tired of career politicians. Fake and a fraud
Testing
CBS 60 Minutes caught her red-handed: https://twitter.com/60Minutes/status/919715052533571584

I work in the medical industry. I see the damage done by prescription opioids everyday. Marsha the pusher thinks that if a man in a white coat and a stethoscope around his neck gives you access to a drug that could eventually destroy your life, its just fine with her. If that person becomes addicted to street drugs because he can no longer get that prescribed drug, she has washed her dirty hands of this person. all she care s about is her wallet.
