This "company web page" set up to help employees lobby Congress doesn't sound right to me.

Interesting - democracy in action - I guess? I went to the homepage and on their Corp/Co. letterhead I note: a black guy, a woman, and what appears to be an Asian or Hispanic in the back ground _ 3 employees, I surmise (which shows how diverse they are, eh)? Then, They talk about a rush to reform. Hey, it's only been since 1912 (Teddy Roosevelt as a Bullmoose) when the first idea of a "national healthcare plan" was proposed. So, slowing down [again] now would be like, be in their view, I guess, like the
"cash for clunkers model; only getting a Model-A in return for your Band Aid?"

Interesting timing of that memo from CEO George Paz.

"In April drug benefits manager Express Scripts Inc. (NASDAQ:ESRX) agreed to buy WellPoint Inc.'s (NYSE:WLP) pharmacy benefit division, NextRx, for $4.68 billion in cash and stock. The deal -- which includes a 10-year service contract to manage pharmacy benefits for WellPoint customers -- will put Express Scripts roughly on par with its two largest PBM rivals as their roles in U.S. healthcare become more complicated at a time of regulatory change."

So George (who cashed out about $20 Million in stock options in 2008) - is saying "tell that Govt to NOT Mess with My soon to be More Obscene Profits!"

What bothers me about this is that Express Scripts is the mail-order pharmacy that TRICARE uses. TRICARE is the health insurance used be the US military.

Another honest grass roots organization grows from the honest hard-working soil of the blue collar movement.

Possible follow-up, or new story: The Express Scripts page doesn't give employees an opportunity to personalize, as many such contact-your-rep efforts do.

Appears that Express Scripts has subscribed to/purchased the contact-your-rep program from Capitol Advantage. Capitol Advantage appears to work both ends: helping Congressional offices switch to "web forms" for constituent communications, and then selling their inside knowledge of the systems to orgs and corps (like Express Scripts).

Capitol Advantage boasts about its power position, and also says that it agrees with the association of Congressional office mgmt that orgs/corps should encourage their users to personalize messages. (Also, that orgs/corps should identify themselves as being the communication-enabler.) http://capitoladvantage.com/cmf

BTW, Capitol Advantage is part of the "Roll Call Group".

Certainly seems to be some interesting angles about how C.A. has apparently helped narrow the funnel for electronic contacts to Congresspeople and then sells work-arounds to corps/orgs (full-time "Government Outreach Director" working with Congressional offices - http://capitoladvantage.com/for-policymakers)

I'm guessing that Bonner & Asses didn't bother with something relatively-transparent (like C.A. claims to be), but certainly may provide some other pieces of the jigsaw puzzle that the astroturf landscape has become.

Not surprising they are emailing their employees.
I contracted briefly, about 15 years or so ago, to a company that brought Aleve to market (and many other drugs) at their campus in Mountain View (? could have been Palo Alto). Anyhow, it surprised me that nearly every entrance to every building had what appeared to be simply-created notices taped to the doors and updated regularly, asking employees to contact their congress critters about the legislation du jour (which the paper named, and specified what it thought was a good position on it).
I myself got an email once in a while from my management of my IT -services corporation urging us to pay attention to certain legislation and how it would affect the Company.
I guess they can do that. But if unions do that, it's communism.
