John -- The cost of insulin isn’t determined by supply and demand. It’s really just three companies setting a price based on how many deaths and amputations the market will bear until people start rioting.

In a moment, I’m going to ask you to chip in anything you can to my campaign for U.S. Senate in Missouri before our major FEC deadline this week. But first, will you give me a moment to explain what I mean?

Big Pharma knows for the millions of Americans who live with diabetes, access to insulin isn’t elective -- it’s a matter of survival. That’s exactly why Eli Lilly, Novo-Nordisk, and Sanofi hiked up the cost of insulin, with prices for some standard vials going from $21 to well over $275 per vial.

While corporate profits have skyrocketed, 1 in 4 people with diabetes now say they’ve had to ration their insulin. People are dying -- and corrupt politicians keep trying to tell us it’s normal.

None of this is new -- it’s been going on for years. Thanks to an army of lobbyists and millions of dollars in corporate PAC checks, the politicians and bureaucrats in Washington who are supposed to protect us have instead spent all this time protecting Big Pharma.

I can’t accept a status quo that lets a dangerous cartel profit off killing everyday Americans. I know you can’t either. That’s why I’m building a grassroots movement to fundamentally change who has power in our country -- starting with taking this U.S. Senate seat back for everyday people.

So please, can you add a donation of $3 or any amount you think is best before our major FEC deadline on Thursday? I don’t take a single cent from corporate PACs, so I mean it when I say a donation of any amount makes a huge difference.

John, unlike Roy Blunt or Josh Hawley, I’m not afraid to call these companies out for what they are: A dangerous cartel that’s killing everyday Americans.

When I’m elected to the U.S. Senate, I’ll work to do more than just break up Big Pharma and get free insulin to any American who needs it -- I want to see these corrupt corporations prosecuted for what they've done to us.

And I can promise you this: I’ll fight like hell against any corrupt politician who gets in my way -- in OUR way.

Thanks for being a part of making this happen.

--Lucas Kunce, U.S. Senate candidate in Missouri
