Bernie Sanders
TELL THE DNC PLATFORM COMMITTEE
Strongly Oppose the TPP in the Party Platform
The Democratic Platform includes a number of very important initiatives that we have been fighting to achieve during this campaign. But one big item is missing: preventing the disastrous Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal from ever coming up for a vote in Congress.
Bernie Sanders opposes this deal, and Secretary Clinton said that she opposes the deal too. So does virtually every labor union, environmental group, and even major religious groups. The Democratic Party must go on record in opposition to holding a vote on the TPP during the lame duck session of Congress and beyond.
Add your name to tell the DNC Platform Committee to make sure the party's platform includes our amendment to prevent the disastrous TPP trade deal from ever coming up for a vote.

I don't mind if the platform opposes TPP, but it should at least come up for a vote.

(2,078 posts)Yes, Elizabeth Warren is a conservative republican. I have been publicly shamed, and I retract my previous comments. I hope my humiliation serves as an example to all those would would attempt to tangle with your wit and cunning in the future.
