...we need to defeat this corporate-written monstrosity.

I will also note that, now that the text really is out there for all to see, there is a whole contingent of TPP yea-sayers here at DU who can no longer use their favorite tactic of saying "But no one knows what's really in it, we'll have to wait and see." I see a lot less defense of this piece of ... than I used to here.

And once again, welcome back cali. You have done a yeoman's job of keeping TPP issues front and center at DU and your absence was felt.
