16. Not sure where the *heat* is coming from, but I misread your intent. It will not happen again.

A DU post led me to this page:

http://thedailybanter.com/2015/04/elizabeth-warren-is-not-telling-the-truth-about-the-trans-pacific-partnership-trade-deal/

The embedded link won't post, it immediately uploads the PDF. To get what I have, read the paragraph which says this:

When Senator Warren calls TPP a “top secret” deal, she’s not telling you the truth. Any member of Congress can see it now, and before Congress votes on it, the final deal will be posted online for 60 days. What we can see now is the USTR summary of the deal, which, granted, isn’t the deal, but it isn’t nothing.


Click on the words 'USTR summary of the deal'in that paragraph at the link.

When you get it, you will find it was created by the US Senate and is entitled:

Bipartisan Congressional Trade Priorities and Accountability Act of 2015.

And it is 113 pages long.

I consider myself a proud liberal and atheist and a progressive, but I don't waste time telling anyone in such terms, so where does that come from?

And I merely referred to a post that I did not make, using a Biblical reference, to tie to yours.

As for sharing through email addresses, it can lead to doxxing. So I don't do that with anyone.

The pdf has red flags, but the intent is protecting worker rights, business and employment, all in the USA. Not for the benefit of any of the other nations.

PBO has spoken against the sex trade and other forms of slavery and elminating child labor. He has addressed that we are competing with nations for whom such things ARE LEGAL. Anything that breaks that cycle benefits human beings, and American workers.

These are all out of the tradition of labor. I am also a 'proud' unionist, worked and organized for unions, women and minority rights and mobilized with others against war, nuclear, corporate rule, racism, sexism, homophobia, ecological destruction, abuse of all groups for almost half a century.women and minority rights for almost half a century.

*I have answered your post giving you my valuable time and showed you respect. Like Obama, I also have a bucket list that I employ. Bye.*
