Congress, in an act of total betrayal of the people who elected them, and of their Constitutional DUTY to represent the people who elected them by using the power invested in them by the US Constitution to legislate on behalf of the people, will ABDICATE that duty and HAND IT OVER to the Executive Branch, tipping the balance of power that is so essential to our form of government, away from the People and into the hands of ONE PERSON.

For six years, the POTUS, who will NOT be Obama for those who say that they 'trust Obama', it will be whoever the next POTUS is, will have the power to negotiate trade deals without any input from the People's Representatives.

The entire Labor Force of the US has warned Congress that IF they pass this abomination they will make sure those who vote for it will lose their seats.


2000 Progressive Orgs who represent the People are just as vehemently opposed to it as the Labor Force. A majority of Americans are opposed to it.

2 Million Signatures were handed to Congress a couple of weeks ago from citizens who are opposed to it.

So if Congress refuses to listen to the people, hands their power to represent them over the Executive Branch, it is very likely that all those Unions and all those thousands of Orgs and the people they represent will have only ONE way to prevent the TPP from going into operation, AGAINST the American workers, in deals made in secret by the POTUS, and that is to elect the ONE Candidate who is NOT CORPORATE FUNDED and who is not likely to use those powers on behalf of the thousands of Corporations whose interests certainly do NOT include the American people.

The entire US labor movement & 2,000 #progressive organizations all say #NoFastTrack for the #TPP: http://www.StopFastTrackNow.org

That's a lot of people who will be looking for someone who does NOT represent Corporations.

Expose The TPP ?@ExposeTPP Jun 17




#TPP impacts 800 million people & 40% of global GDP! Act now so your Rep votes #NoFastTrack: http://www.StopFastTrackNow.org

So go ahead and betray the people who elected you, and WE will make sure that we no longer tolerate Wall St funded tools who are beholden to those who pay to get them elected.

Only ONE candidate has said NO to Corporate money. And it is clear how NOT being beholden to Wall St frees a candidate to speak for the PEOPLE who elected them.

He is the ONLY Candidate who has taken a firm stand WITH the Unions AGAINST the TPP.

Thank you Bernie Sanders. Thank you Alan Grayson and the other Representatives who will try to stop this. We know what you are all up against!

EDITED TO ADD: I believe Bernie is going to win anyhow! However if this abomination passes, I believe he will in a landslide AND I believe that the Unions will carry out their promise and use the money they normally give to the Dem Party to help oust all those who betrayed them.

UPDATE: Today, the Vermont Teachers Union, membership 12,000 people, endorse Bernie Sanders and will be campaigning for him in NH and Nationally: http://www.democraticunderground.com/128015861

That was fast!
