Tell Sherrod Brown He Needs to Get Himself Arrested . . [View all]

I just called his office with that advice, and would urge you to do the same.

He needs to march himself over to the US Trade Rep's office,
grab a copy of the TPP, walk out, and challenge security to arrest him.

The subsequent publicity will help our cause.

He might do it as part of a group of concerned Congress members -
such as Alan Grayson, Barbara Boxer, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and . . .?
