Suggestion, perhaps Dennis Kucinich run in senate or house primaries in Washington state?

30. TPA isn't about trade, but providing mechanisms bypassing what should be the normal process...

... of instituting *trade* deals. And by bypassing what is supposed to be done for approving treaties and throwing in things like the ISDS court which has LITTLE to do with trade, and EVERYTHING to do with putting corporate power over our own government power, TPA was a bill that shouldn't have passed, whether you think that your state is dependent on good trade deals (which I question as well) or not. The problem is that passing TPA makes it that much harder to stop BAD trade deals like the TPP is (or it wouldn't be secret!) that SCREW Americans, no matter how much an area is dependent on foreign trade.

They say we in Portland and Oregon are dependent on that too, which is why Wyden and three of our four democrats supported it along with the one Republican congressman in our state. But there is a lot of resistance from many of us who see through this corporate propaganda from the likes of Nike. Similarly, the state saw through the press's propaganda (like the Oregonian) and Oregonians of all parties basically threw out the "top two primary" that was what corporate America, billionaires and their servants like the Oregonian wanted and endorsed. We need more grass roots from voters like what happened with that ballot measure for votes like this to tell our government NO, when they are being hoodwinked into screwing us again. I'm guessing that the same propaganda was being spewed by politicians, etc. up in the Northwest before we had the protests in Seattle before NAFTA too, where the protestors were RIGHT to do what they were doing.
