I Just Called Both Of My Senators Today

I asked their staff if they heard about the news story 2/3rds of corporations pay no income tax. They had heard. I pretty much asked their staff if they knew how angry the people that are getting screwed really are. Tens of thousands of people showing up at Key Arena and Safeco Field in Seattle. They are not there because they are fine with what's going on. How long will we continue to get ripped off before...... (we have had enough)

I got my message across.

Many of them made it possible themselves, and continue to reap rewards as a result (including God-knows-how much in Panam or Cayman Islands accounts). Mostly Rapepublicans, sure; but more than a few of our fellow Democrats as well.

I have made it clear to Murray, Inslee and Larsen that in order to get my vote, or any money, they will have to abandon their support for TPP and change their Super Delegate vote to Bernie.
