Here's a startling fact that most of us probably don't know - Michigan is the only state in the nation that give drug companies total immunity when their products like Vioxx, Phen-fen, Celebrex and others harm or kill.

Now Progress Michigan is joining Michigan Citizen Action in a campaign called Drug Industry Immunity Must End or DIIME in urging our State Senate to allow residents to hold drug companies accountable. Early in 2007, the House of Representatives passed legislaton to restore citizens rights, but now it has just sat in the Senate, with Senate Majority Leader Mike Bishop and Sen. Judiciary Committee Chairman Wayne Kuipers ignorning it. 

Watch this video about two women whose lives have been drastically affected by drug industry immunity and then speak out to Senators Bishop, Kuipers and the rest of their colleagues through our action tool, all of which takes less than a minute.
