2. I replied to Fast track/TPP Hypocrite Maria Cantwell that she's a Wall Street Puppet

Got the same letter from Cantwell off of Feingold's mailing list. (I'd sent Feingold a donation when he announced for Senate run).

Made me sick to my stomach that Cantwell, who voted twice both in committee and on the Senate floor for fast track on TPP and its ISDS , is now coattailing on Russ Feingold & his long history of actual Democratic populism. When the chips were down, Cantwell proved that she's on the side of ALEC & Wall Street and not her constituents, who certainly and overwhelmingly
petitioned and called her office for her to vote against fast track and these antidemocratic treaties.

Cantwell voted with Ron Johnson & all the Republicans for fast track & the T treaties. This G-S, Russ Feingold letter from her is just downright offensive to me.

The old definition of chutzpa.
