I don't know if it's even possible with the TPP Fast Track that they already passed.... but Bernie absolutely needs to redo his historic "filibuster" speech that he did for the extension of Bush's tax cuts but this time be against the TPP.

I can't really call it a filibuster because the one in 2010 wasn't technically one as he couldn't really stop it. I fear it may be the case now as well... but the country needs to know what's going on.

If Bernie wants to stop the TPP. If Bernie wants America to take notice... he needs to redo "The Speech" and talk for as long on the Senate floor as he can to make sure this TPP doesn't pass... And if it does pass... maybe then the people will take notice and they will realize who is on THEIR side... and who is on the BILLIONAIRE'S side.

Here is the link to the full 8 and a half hour speech on CPSAN.

On Friday, December 10, 2010, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders walked on to the floor of the United States Senate and began speaking. It turned out to be a very long speech, lasting over eight and a half hours. And it hit a nerve. Millions followed the speech online until the traffic crashed the Senate server. A huge, positive grassroots response tied up the phones in the senator’s offices in Vermont and Washington. President Obama reportedly held an impromptu press conference with former President Clinton to deflect media attention away from Sander' speech. Editorials and news coverage appeared throughout the world. In his speech, Sanders blasted the agreement that President Obama struck with Republicans, which extended the Bush tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires, lowered estate tax rates for the very, very rich, and set a terrible precedent by establishing a "payroll tax holiday" diverting revenue away from the Social Security Trust Fund, threatening the fund’s very future. But the speech was more than a critique of a particular piece of legislation. It was a dissection of the collapse of the American middle class and a well-researched attack on corporate greed and on public policy which, over the last several decades, has led to a huge growth in millionaires even as the United States has the highest rate of childhood poverty in the industrialized world. It was a plea for a fundamental change in national priorities, for government policy that reflects the needs of working families, and not just the wealthy and their lobbyists. Finally, Sanders' speech-published here in its entirety with a new introduction by the senator-is a call for action. It is a passionate statement informing us that the only people who will save the middle class of this country is the middle class itself, but only if it is informed, organized, and prepared to take on the enormously powerful special interests dominating Washington.

While Sander's speech wasn't a filibuster... it brought attention to the matter... and he needs to do it again.

Please contact the Bernie Sanders campaign in any way you can. If the TPP is as disastrous as he's telling us it is (and I think it is) he needs to do this.
