OUTRAGEOUS! DNC Platform Refuses To Take A Stand On TPP. Tell Them Off!
By The Pen
The snaky language they voted through for the platform says that there are "a diversity of views" in the Democratic party on the TPP. Given that every Democratic candidate for president SAYS they oppose it, the only diversity we can see is between the bought off paid off corporate creeps and their supposed constituents.

This is outrageous!
Yesterday the Democratic platform committee refused to take a stand on the heinous TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership).
It's high time we told them off but good.
The snaky language they voted through says that there are "a diversity of views" in the Democratic party on the TPP.
Oh, really?
Given that every Democratic candidate for president SAYS they oppose it, the only diversity we can see is between the bought off paid off corporate creeps and their supposed constituents. Let those who still hold to a perverse contrary view clearly identify themselves now, so we can make sure we never vote for them again.
We just went through a huge dog and pony show sit-in in the House with Democrats lambasting the Republicans for not taking a stand on gun control, all the while substantial numbers of them got the slogans backwards or were unable to even remember the tune to "We Shall Overcome." And the next shoe that drops is the Democrats refuse to take a stand on the TPP.
This is all just a ruse to try punt the TPP to a lame duck session of Congress where members can betray their constituents AFTER we re-elect them. Please tell us you don't see it coming.
And please tell THEM that you do!

We need to raise the biggest ruckus with the DNC this resource has ever seen.
And here are all the social media sharing links for this action.

A couple of the phony baloney progressives appointed by Clinton to the platform committee had the unmitigated gall to say they did not want to be "impertinent" to the president, by opposing his position. Is this what we could expect from a President Clinton, appointment of people who do the exact opposite of the positions she has taken in public??
If President Obama is so damn hot for this treaty let him demand a vote NOW, which would fail of course since the issue is so toxic. What's really impertinent is to hide like a snake in the grass and then try to pass it only after someone ELSE has been elected.
And after you submit the action page, feel free to request one of our "Expressway To Trade Hell TPP" bumper stickers.
Of you can get one directly from this page for a contribution of any amount.

Authors Bio:
The Pen is a real person, and the creator of UTalk, a revolutionary new internet radio interface, to make advocacy messages as facile and easy as possible. With this goal in mind we pioneered one click action pages in the political realm, now imitated by virtually all other action sites on the internet.
The premise behind the resource has always been twofold. If people are speaking out to their members of Congress in sufficient numbers one of two things MUST happen. 1) Either our representatives will heed the voices of their constituents and we will have the policy change we want, or 2) People will personally experience being ignored by their members of Congress, and then we have a base of people motivated to seek their replacement.
Last year we also added to its resource options fax sending capability, so that messages can be sent by fax to recipients who might not be reachable by web input form or regular email.
Besides our own action alerts and pages, many other activist groups have been set up with their own action page creators, including building this capability into the writer article submission interface for OpEdNews itself, to empower them in their own policy missions. And all of these services are provided for absolutely no charge to anyone, supported only by whatever kind donations individuals choose to make from time to time.
