look at this

this includes traitors on TPP
http://thehill.com/blogs/floor-action/senate/242093-senate-votes-to-start-trade-debate

Obviously bernie is one of 33 that voted to keep debate going.As was elizabeth warren.

It seems reid and Schumur are playing game of getting compromise approved but voting against it to fool democratic voters

why is it a technical independent like Bernie acts more like a democrat than others who are technicaly dems including the so called
dem in white House.

Today’s vote moves us closer to achieving a positive outcome for the people we represent,” said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell


We know who those people are.

6. Is there a Bernie Sanders group in Oregon yet

Sander's office told me May 26 is the kick-off day and hopefully offices will be opening.

Do you know if activist groups are still picketing Wyden's home

Is there any growing demand for Defazio for senate?

I'd support that in a heartbeat.

I do not know if activists are picketing Ron. There was a particularly tragic bicycle accident last weekend in which a cyclist lost his legs. The news has been focusing on demonstrations by local cyclists and hasn't looked at Wyden too closely. There was coverage of demonstrations during Obama's visit to Nike.

I assume there is a Bernie Sanders group here - can't imagine there wouldn't be.

This should also be part of the campaign for Bernie. Kicking out those who have not supported the people and replacing them with people like Defazio.

Need outside organizing.

The Democratic Party is not the solution. It is part of the problem.

Bennett (Colorado)
Wyden (Oregon)
Patty Murray (Washington state)
Schumer (NY)

Does anyone not think Reid and Schumer were instrumental in orchestrating this CAVE-IN?

Reid and Schumer helped organize the cave in and then voted against it so they could be seen as being against it by the base.

For all the good it will do. I'll get a canned response on why the TPP is good for America.
