Help me become more informed Bernie allies! [View all]

So, I understand just about everything Bernie stands for but I'm admittedly new to this political activism thing. Bernie is the first politician to inspire me into action!

So that said, can anyone explain to me what his positions on the TPP (what is the TPP) and free trade? does he want to eliminate outsourcing of jobs or is it more than that? or am I off the mark completely?

thanks in advance!
