Drug Company Push Poll Against Begich Health Care Proposals

According to Sourcewatch: 
A push poll is where, using the guise of opinion polling, disinformation about a candidate or issue is planted in the minds of those being 'surveyed'. Push-polls are designed to shape, rather than measure, public opinion. 

We just had a phone call poll from "a representative of the drug companies" in which we were told that Sen. Begich is proposing a number of amendments to the health care reform bill which will add considerable costs.  We were then asked if we were opposed to any bill that will increase the price of prescription drugs. 

So, if you get a call like this, pay attention to how they are trying to shape your opinion.
