Senators Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell caved in and voted to support
Obama, rather than the majority in their state. Despite many calls,
emails and letters, they voted their conscience...or should that be,
they voted their financial contributors wishes?
Looks like I'm voting for the Green Party all the way in the general
election...unless Bernie Sanders performs the most amazing piece of
sorcery since the Supreme Court waved their magic wand and declared
George Bush the winner over Al Gore.

I signed this. Actually, I already told my congresswoman that I won't vote
for her. She voted "yes" twice. She is a Long Island Democrat (they're not
trustworthy) and she took over the seat of the previous Democratic
congresswoman who was equally unsatisfactory. I called twice, signed
petitions, and knew it was all for naught.

We always said this would virtually guarantee passage of the Trans-Pacific
Partnership. But it doesn't absolutely guarantee it.
One way to stop it would be to pull out a seldom-used tactic in the United
States that is indispensible in other nations. We could threaten
consequences at the polling place for TPP supporters.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, I know -- No, not kidding, I actually know -- that in
some small percentage of cases this could end up meaning that you've
committed to voting against someone who faces in a future election someone
else who looks even worse. But fear of that has in fact produced a pattern
of, in fact, worse candidates followed by even worse candidates for years
now. How, pray tell, do you propose to ever get any better candidates?
The TPP is a disaster that towers over considerations of gentility and
lesser-evilism. This is Congress, as our supposed representatives, giving
the power to overturn its own laws to corporations. Why would you care whom
you elect to a body that no longer has the power to make laws? It's already
given up the power to stop wars.
The TPP is NAFTA on steroids, economically and environmentally destructive
at home and abroad. Most of it has nothing to do with trade, but is rather
about empowering banks and corporations with powers that couldn't be passed
separately or transparently because they're too terrible and unpopular.
It's time we take a stand against wrecking the world, even with corrupt
politicians who can find someone slightly more corrupt to run against.
It's time we signed this petition:
If you don't oppose and vote against the Trans-Pacific Partnership, I will
oppose and vote against you in every future primary and general election in
which you are a candidate.
