Call Pelosi. CREDO Continues the TPP Fight with a Fun, Mashed Video of DINOS Against It.
TPP Opponents Take Aim at Pelosi: Let’s Build a Firewall of Resistance, Andrea Germanos, Common Dreams
Social change network CREDO Action has amplified its call to stop the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), calling for “an onslaught of grassroots opposition” coupled with a “firewall” of Democratic resistance in the House of Representatives to prevent the trade deal from being rammed through Congress.
CREDO fears a lame-duck session passage of TPP:
If Leader Pelosi uses her power and influence to encourage other Democrats to take a stand against a lame-duck vote on the TPP, that alone could strike a serious blow against the best chance our opponents have of passing the TPP. […] But Democratic Leader Pelosi has been surprisingly quiet on this issue. And what she says will have enormous influence on whether Democrats in the House of Representatives band together to ensure there are not enough votes to attempt a lame-duck TPP vote. […]
Well, half DINOS, half not. :O)
Staffer cut me off right after I said the TPP further gives away our right to self govern to international corporations.
You called and they cut you off??
Yes, I stated my name and my state and said I was urging her to oppose the TPP. When I started saying why (giving up right to self-govern), he very curtly said he’d give her the message, goodbye and basically hung up on me.
Kinda tells you what she’s going to do, but i still think her staff having to hear us does some good.
Thanks polarbear!
Thank YOU. :O)
