Sign and send the petition: Corporations must answer for greed and corruption

Friend, [sign and send the petition to your Democratic U.S. senator(s): Use Senate committee control to investigate corporate America](. [SIGN AND SEND THE PETITION]( For the past two years, the makeup of U.S. Senate committees has been divided evenly between Democrats and Republicans to reflect the 50-50 split in the full chamber. However, with an incoming 51-49 majority (when including Independents), Senate Democrats can now have true control of committees, opening the door to more investigative authority. Through greater oversight ability and subpoena power, committee and subcommittee chairs can begin to tackle corruption in corporate America.

Sen. Bernie Sanders is expected to chair the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, where he hopes to investigate price gouging of pharmaceutical drugs. Sen. Richard Blumenthal is in line to become chair of the Consumer Production and Product Safety Subcommittee and wants to look into Big Tech, and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse is ready to investigate energy companies and climate change in the Budget Committee. It’s clear that Senate Democrats are already preparing to use their majority strategically in the next Congress. Our senators will have no shortage of work to prioritize—nominations, legislation, budgeting—but they can walk and chew gum at the same time. As their responsibilities begin to pile up, let’s remind our senators that we’re counting on them to follow through on their promises to investigate corporate America.
