Obama is a total piece of shit with his trade bill

The GOP House scumbags are, of course, going to hand fast track authority to Obama and his TPP trade bill, which should have been dead and buried by now.

The president pushed this thing harder than anything in his two terms thus far. Harder than Obamacare. Certainly harder than the single payer option. Harder than jobs, stimulus, you name it.

Of course the "owners" of the country will once again get what they want; a path to more profits, more environmental ruin, more wage suppression and slavery.

Obama is really a piece of shit.

Don Quijones — Obama & McConnell Pledge Cooperation; Will Fast-Tracking Secretive TPP Trade Deal Top Their Agenda?

The president has to convince the Democrats to swallow another poison pill that will further alienate labor, and the majority leader has to convince his caucus to give the president more authority through fast track. Working together they can probably pull it off, especially since Congress and the public are still largely in the dark about the specifics of the deal.

I called Rep Sandy Levin's office to oppose his position on the Trans Pacific Partnership

Congressman Sandy Levin (D-MI) is the ranking member of the House Ways and Means Committee and he's also the HouseDemocrats' most senior trade committee member. Well it looks like Levin may be about to support the horrible, Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal. This trade deal is a massive corporate godsend that exempts large transnational corporate entities from all kinds of domestic rules, regulations, environmental protections, labor laws, etc. 

Here is an article on the proposed deal. 

It's bad enough that the Republicans are trying to fast track this, but now Levin, a Democrat, is getting on board as well.

I called Representative Levin's office and told an aide that I was opposed to the Congressman's position on TPP. This deal is not good for Americans and he should oppose it.

Here is Levin's district phone number. Call him and tell him you are against TPP and he should not support it!

Call Rep. Levin's District Office: (586) 498-7122

Here's a sample script I got from the Firedoglake website:

Hello, my name is __{name}__ and I'm calling today to ask that Rep. Levin oppose granting the president Fast-Track trade authority ahead of the final negotiations for the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
As the ranking member on the Ways and Means committee, Rep. Levin has significant influence over his fellow Democrats on matters of trade. In the past he's used his influence to help push through disastrous trade agreements. If Rep. Levin doesn't want his legacy to be one of selling out American workers he'll oppose Fast Track trade authority for the TPP.
Can I count on Rep. Levin to oppose Fast Track?
