Democracy For America has the petition Stand with Bernie Sanders: Tell the Senate to reject Fast Track authority for the TPP.

Bernie Sanders is taking a bold stand against the the Trans-Pacific Partnership. A bill to give the president Fast Track authority, designed to push through the TPP with little public debate, is about to be introduced in the Senate.

The TPP is a disastrous trade agreement designed to protect the interests of the largest multi-national corporations at the expense of workers, consumers, the environment and the foundations of American democracy. It will also negatively impact some of the poorest people in the world.

Stand with Bernie Sanders: Tell the Senate to vote NO on Fast Track for the TPP!

Many people wonder how even Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren can possibly beat the people with all the money and power.  Well, as they both have explained, this is where you come in.  We don’t have wealth and power, but we  do have votes and voices.  If we don’t step in and back Sanders and Warren when they are fighting our fights, then there is little likelihood that the powerful will feel the need to even care what you think.

People keep asking, what’s it going to take to turn this country around.  Well here is the beginning of the answer.  It is going to take enough people to stand-up to these bullies, before anything will ever change.  You can be part of history, or you can take a pass on it.

New Economic Perspectives has the article Hillary Remains Clueless About Regulation on the 28th Anniversary of the Keating Five Meeting by William K Black.

I thank Samantha Lachman for her April 9, 2015 column entitled “As Clinton Tries To Win Over Progressives, She Might Want To Distance Herself From This Economic Adviser.”

Lachman’s column explains that Hillary Clinton chose Robert Hormats as one of her most prominent economic advisors.

Lachman is correct about the content of Hormats’ policy positions. But here are the key factors I would urge readers (and potential campaign supporters and voters) to consider that arise from these positions.

1. The problem with Hormats is not that he will upset “progressives.” The problem is that he is incompetent, dishonest, and supports policies that have devastated and will continue to devastate our Nation and the people of the world. Hormats has been wrong on every important economic issue – for decades. That should upset everyone regardless of their politics.

1. The real problem is the Clintons.

If I can get you to read this article and understand 10% of it, I cannot fathom how you could possibly want to vote for Hillary Clinton even for dog catcher, let alone for President.

I left the following comment on Black’s article.

Devastating.  As a fan of Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, I have already decided that Hillary Clinton is not a person I can vote for.  I knew in a general way that Clinton just did not understand.  This article gives me the specifics that I did not know.
