President Obama, the US Chamber of Commerce and Mitch McConnell are all delighted with the new trade agreements with Korea, Colombia and Panama.

So why is the AFL-CIO against it? Why is Peter DeFazio against it? And why should you be against it? Watch and find out.

3. As I've said elsewheres...

I'd dearly LOVE to know HOW MANY voting constituents called, wrote, advised, pleaded with their reps to pass these stupid agreements. 'spose their offices had been swamped with cards and letters from John Q. Publics that were anxious to see these jokes passed??? :grr:

4. They would have ignored us, as they always do. The problem

is the people have no lobbyists in DC. Our emails, calls etc. cannot compete with Corporate Money. That is where the change has to begin.

DeFazio is one of the good guys, but he doesn't have enough people in Congress, YET, to back him up. That is our job, to replace all the corporate funded people who currently occupy the People's House.
