2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forum1,000,000+ Saw This Video. Let’s Double That.
Q. Can a video capture a moment?
A. Yes.
During its first week online, one million people watched our Trade Treachery video on Facebook.
Let me say that again: One million people watched our Trade Treachery video, in the first week alone.
Nine million people heard about it. Almost 100,000 people liked it. Over 50,000 people shared it with all their Facebook friends. It drew well over 25,000 comments. And around 75,000 people provided their e-mail addresses to us, so that we can keep them informed about what they can do to help.
Thats not just a video. Thats a movement.
Why has this video gone viral? Because it explains, in simple terms, exactly whats wrong with the Fast Track bill and the so-called Trans-Pacific Partnership. And more fundamentally, it explains exactly whats been wrong with US economic policy for the past 20 years. In a nutshell, were buying their stuff, and theyre not buying ours. So we lose the jobs, and we go deeper and deeper into debt, to pay for their stuff.
Heres what we need to do: Make sure that everyone sees this video. And with your help, we can do that. Contribute today to our Truth in Trade campaign, to help us spread the word. It may be hard to believe, but $50 from you today means that we can tell 7000 more people about this video, this organizing tool for the 21st century.
The House of Representatives may vote on the Fast Track bill as soon as next week. Listen up: we have to fight back against trade treachery, and we have to fight back now, before its too late. To see the video, or to support our Truth in Trade campaign, click here, and click now.
Courage,
Rep. Alan Grayson
