1. HUGE K & R !!! - THANK YOU !!!

[Ed Suspicious]

2. His job is so easy. Just keep bringing the truth.

The truth is what keeps him free.

[sabrina 1]

4. He's free of Corporate Money so he is under no obligation to try to hide the truth.

[madfloridian]

7. So true.

[Plucketeer]

12. It would be illuminating to see

how emphatically someone else would bash this traitorous agreement. Bet we hear crickets on it.

3. Corporate America always wins.

Makes sense, since they own our government.

[erronis]

5. And there are lots of examples in history (even US) where they lose

I had multi-millionaire relatives (at least on paper) during the '29 crash.

I've worked for several very large companies that have gone under or have been consumed by mega-corps.

We all know the examples through history where to "too big to fail" ended up buried in mass or paupers' graves.

Unfortunately for us, now, the banksters and their sychophants in the congress/executive/judicial branches, they all are willing to buy into the "good times now" and screw their offspring. "How did we know that we were wasting our resources?"

6. Damn. It isn't even Corporate America. Fela's Beasts of No Nation

Time for them to stop winning. Bernie is a good first step, if we can get him heard.

Infinite ways to oppose what is happening, Bernie is only one of them. It's going to take a lot of people, a lot of determination, and a lot of heart, using a lot of different approaches to get our lives and world back, if we can do so while we still have lives and a world capable of sustaining them.

FELA vs BUHARI - Beast of No Nation

8. Kicked and recommended to the Max!

[kenfrequed]

9. Hell yes Bernie!

We need someone that will help fight these stupid anti-environmental, anti-labor, anti-sustainable, anti-local trade-suicide pacts.

[TheNutcracker]

10. ditto...Go Bernie!

[navarth]

11. Bernie has been consistent and true as long as I've known about him

and I must hang out in the Bernie forum sometime. Thanks for posting.

13. How much longer

are we going to continue to accept this? Based on Bernie's information, a LARGE percentage of people are against this. Yet, the 1% bought their way to get what they want, again. WTF!!! Most of Washington is bought and paid for by the 1%, and this has to stop. Just wait til Bernie gets in there. The people will speak in record numbers, come next November.

We need our country back!!!!

[madfloridian]

18. They simply don't care what we think.

They just don't even bother to listen.

[appalachiablue]

22. I just read an OP where folks said the same thing, they called their reps. to oppose TPP but said

they just don't care. Many staffers were rude, flipped people over to an answering machine. I truly sense that we are losing what little power we have left with our elected officials which is a scary prospect. They spend many hours on phones per week in DC soliciting campaign funds for some time now. The threat of primarying might be effective where there's another strong candidate, the only recourse. We must get $ out of politics, Bernie and others are so right. Another huge feat that will require mass mobilization like fighting CU. But we can't stop, for sure!

14. Thank you madfloridian for posting

[madfloridian]

15. Did you notice I posted your link also.

I was afraid it would not get much attention in the Bernie forum alone.

[cal04]

19. Good Morning madfloridian

Thank you SO much
I agree

[Iwillnevergiveup]

16. You tell 'em, Bernie!

"Trade Promotion Authority" doesn't sound like too good a deal to me.

[appalachiablue]

17. K & R. Bernie the Fighter knows the TPP is an abomination like NAFTA, CAFTA et al. Sherrod Brown

also made a vehement statement against it in the Senate today.

[JEB]

20. K&R

[antigop]

21. and as long as we keep voting for corporate Dems, the corporations will keep winning.

Thanks for posting.
