I'm bookmarking this, a great tool in breaking it down for people.

6. Excellent...If only there was a way for this to reach ordinary people

whose eyes glaze over when one tries to bring it up.

Hopefully it gets Twittered and Facebooked around so that all the younger folks can talk about it.

The people I come in contact with usually go "Huh?" And, they wouldn't bother to go to the website to read it.

But its a great read. "TPP for DUMMIES" and that's what we need!

10. I have been trying to get a hold of Jon Stewart,

Or actually Samantha Bee, but the email bounces back that their email "Doesn't like the recipient."

If we could get stuff about the TPP to them, and they covered the TPP, then maybe it would start waking people up.

I always introduce the topic as the "Toilet Paper Prevention" act because boy oh boy, if Americans had to wipe their butts with corn husks, like the good ol' days, there would be a huge and outraged protest against this "Trade Agreement.".

11. Never thought of that...a Great Effort...this needs to get out there..

Stewart could at least do a few graphics of it and link to the website. It could get Huge Response from his audience and therefore reach many more! Colbert Too might be a great one to do this! And..in some way, more receptive if you were blocked from Stewart.

Thanks for posting about your interaction with them.

15. See my rsponse right below this one -

My response did not "tree" right.

[truedelphi]

14. Feel free to run with my idea if you know of a way to get through

To either Colbert or Stewart.

Ya never know if it is something as innocuous as a Spam Blocker (And if you and I need one, I can only imagine being Stewart or Sam Bee.)

Or it could be CIA goons inside the Daily Show organization. Stewart has done remarkably well in terms of thinking outside the box - I am sure the CIA goons would like to control him more, but can't. (At least they can't control his mental processes, but probably do have ways of controlling who gets through to him.) And same, of course with Colbert.

17. Could you "back door it" through Colbert's Twitter Site?

I'm not signed up to Twitter but follow a few business reporters and it seems you can sign up for Twitter to post easily. Then send link for this to both Colbert and Stewart and see if it gets picked up by them and their followers on Twitter.

Seems most of the Media Glitterati use "Twitter" these days to get ideas and stories their PR/Media Crews can use and then get into their production teams formats for shows.

Good Luck!

7. Maybe the graphic format will convey this idea in terms more comprehensible to voters.

Get your mind right and just accept everything from Washington with a D after it as perfect

[Elwood P Dowd]

22. You forgot RB TexLa and pampango.

They just love them some Wall Street promoted fake Free Trade and Job Outsourcing con jobs. Just slap the name "Free Trade" on it, and they are good to go.

[pa28]

20. Great! Let's spread this around and get the word out.

People have no clue what the TPP is and this 'toon explains it well.

[neverforget]

24. This needs to be spread far and wide!

K & R!
