... Seriously, everyone needs to stock up on blue duct tape, black sharpies, & warm clothes. Serious protest days seem to end up in the deep of winter in the 21st century. It needs to be a huge protest. Bigger than the OWS, so the MSM will be forced to cover it. "We the People" must rise up against the TPP. This is a gauntlet moment for this nation. Get The Corporation out of Congress. And while we're cleaning house, clean the Church out of Congress. It's long past time for genuine truth and transparency. Thanks, cali, for the OP. I have a splitting headache... need to find the Aleve. Seriously.
