TELL THE DNC PLATFORM COMMITTEE

Strongly Oppose the TPP in the Party Platform
The Democratic Platform includes a number of very important initiatives that we have been fighting to achieve during this campaign. But one big item is missing: preventing the disastrous Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal from ever coming up for a vote in Congress.

Bernie Sanders opposes this deal, and Secretary Clinton said that she opposes the deal too. So does virtually every labor union, environmental group, and even major religious groups. The Democratic Party must go on record in opposition to holding a vote on the TPP during the lame duck session of Congress and beyond.

Add your name to tell the DNC Platform Committee to make sure the party's platform includes our amendment to prevent the disastrous TPP trade deal from ever coming up for a vote.

3. The is an anti-democratic petition

TPP should at least be voted on. This petition says we should prevent it from even being voted on.

I don't mind if the platform opposes TPP, but it should at least come up for a vote.

4. Well, I'm not a Republican, so I don't demand that stuff I don't like never gets voted on.

So I guess that disqualifies me. You'll have to find someone else to sign on to such conservative tactics.

5. By that logic Elizabeth Warren is a conservative

Which side are you on again?

6. Former Republican Elizabeth Warren, you mean?

Better luck next time?

[BobbyDrake]

9. Yes, I exposed the massive flaw in your argument, so here come the ad hominems!

Right on schedule.

10. I concede to your superior wit

Yes, Elizabeth Warren is a conservative republican. I have been publicly shamed, and I retract my previous comments. I hope my humiliation serves as an example to all those would would attempt to tangle with your wit and cunning in the future.

12. OK, sure.
