7. Have you heard Wyden speak about the TTP?

Last Saturday, I traveled fifty miles to hear him speak.

He claimed he would not support the TTP unless it was "Smart Tracked" (his name for it.) Smart Track meant that he would only support it if the bill was published well ahead of the vote. (He already knew at that point that that was going to happen.)

And! BLUEBERRIES! Oregon would make lots and lots of money selling BLUEBERRIES to China.



That's it. That is why all Oregonians should love and be grateful for the TTP.

That was the 1st town hall I've attended where no one stood and clapped at the end. People were not happy.

Btw, Pete does not want to be a senator. I wanted him to run against Gordo a few terms ago. But he said he liked his district and din't want to run.
