Leadership opened the door that led to Summers withdrawal when

Tester, Warren, Brown, Merkley et al....stepped up and voiced their intention to vote no.

Once that happened, the long-running anti-Summers rumble among the base, turned onto a roar...

Have we changed, or have they? Is it possible for us to have another run at having our voices heard?

Sounds like a bad win-loose deal. Corporations win at the expense of working people and sovereign nations.

Just how much money does the PTB feel entitled to take from us, anyway?

We still have a democracy. How does the TPP serve the interests of the majority of us? How does it serve ANYBODY besides the .01%?
