MoveOn Petition to Stop the TPP :
http://petitions.moveon.org/sign/stop-the-trans-pacific
We need another Full Court Press like this spring to again beat the Fast Track plan to turn Congress into a mute, non-deliberating, no input rubber stamp for a corporate spawned nightmare, that is attempting to produce a more expansive degradation in more diverse field (environmental law, worker safety, food safety, patent and copyright law, pharmaceutical pricing, the ability of local & state governments to carry out their constitutional duties to protect the general welfare, ETC) all in one, non-negotiable, no input, no deliberation of the corporate produced rules by the elected representatives of our democracy, up or down, last minute/under duress vote.
We've got to get the word out, and increase those protests in the street , if we're going to beat the corporatists again.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
