No one likes to be sick, especially with a chronic condition. Good health for our family is a universal goal. For that, Americans need a Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) who courageously places patients over corporate profits and is determined to find root causes and end our country’s chronic disease epidemic. Dr. Robert Redfield, former CDC director, wrote in September’s Newsweek that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is the right choice.

Senator Dan Sullivan, after meeting with Kennedy, posted on his 12/19/24 Facebook that he was impressed with Kennedy’s knowledge of Alaska, the Indian Health Service, and rural health care issues. He looked forward to working with him.

What is holding Senator Lisa Murkowski back from committing to Kennedy’s confirmation? Health is not a political issue, but a human one. Kennedy has targeted the chronic disease epidemic while running as a Democrat, then an independent, and now being nominated by a Republican president. His message when he suspended his presidential campaign was “we need to love our children more than we hate each other.” If Murkowski places Children’s Health before politics and big pharma profits, it’s time for action.

Kennedy’s broadcasted Senate hearings are January 29 and 30. Listen to him directly, rather than edited news clips.

Please join me today in telling Senator Murkowski to vote “Yes” for Kennedy as Secretary of HHS to Make America Healthy Again for our children’s future: [email protected], call 907-586-7277; 202-224-6665; fax 877-857-0322.
