51. YOU SURE ARE!! My Senator Bill Nelson Has Been Getti ng

Thu May 21, 2015, 02:54 PM

May 2015

an earful from me for quite some time..He voted for "TPA" so when it becomes TPP he'll vote NO so he can tell "US" his constituients that he voted NO when he's up for re-election. Called his office 3 times to and can't even get through to leave a message.

Make sure EVERYONE understands that this is Fast Track and if YOUR Senator voted YEA he/she has essentially voted YEA for TPP. They are going to tell their constituents who don't follow politics closely that they only voted this way so they could "open it up for debate!" But THE DEBATE isn't what this vote really is, it IS a vote for TPP because this vote needed a Super Majority, the next vote will only NEED 51 votes to pass!

A fine line of distinction that they'll use to their advantage... I have some very "fine words" I would to call them right now but don't want to be too nasty, but use your imagination, it's not hard!!!

BERNIE SANDERS, this SHIT must STOP! Okay so I used ONE word!!!
