“No More War“: Protesters Disrupt Ex-CIA Director Leon Panetta‘s DNC Speech
28 July 2016
Protests on the floor of the convention continued on Wednesday. They reached a peak when former CIA Director Leon Panetta took the stage. While Panetta was criticizing Donald Trump’s appeal to the Russians to hack Hillary Clinton’s emails, many delegates started chanting “No more war!” We hear Panetta’s remarks and speak to a Bernie Sanders delegate who took part in the protest.

Joseph Stiglitz to Clinton: Don’t Repeat Obama Mistakes of Supporting TPP, Failed Financial Reform
28 July 2016
In part two of our interview with Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz, he says Obama’s mistakes are supporting the Trans-Pacific Partnership and not pushing financial sector reform as far as he could have. He also [said] the Brexit vote in Great Britain and support for Donald Trump in the U.S. is driven by “anger and a lack of trust, and a strong sense that the system is rigged” among people who have lost their jobs due to trade and financial liberalization. “And you know what? I think they’re right.”
This is the “big problem with the TPP Super Court that we’re not talking about.”
The repeated references to the TPP’s “strategic” dimension underline its connection to the US military build-up in the Asia Pacific against China: here.

about how we stop the disastrous Trans Pacific Partnership trade deal.
It may be a little longer than your normal email, but we think it’s very important that everyone understands both what’s at stake with TPP and how we can actually win.
We’re going to ask you in this email to step up and declare that you oppose TPP, and the reason we’re asking is so that we can give you more opportunities this week to speak out and oppose TPP. But we still think it’s very important for you to understand exactly what we’re facing in order to win. Here’s what you need to know.
President Obama is the one person who can start the process to pass TPP.
Last year President Obama sought, and won, approval from Congress to “fast track” trade deals. That means that he can submit the TPP to Congress and put it up for a vote without any amendments. Congress can approve it as-is, or reject it. That’s it.
Legally, today is the first day that President Obama can do this. He’s said before that he would like to pass TPP in the lame duck session. We don’t know if he’s going to try this week, next week, or after the election, but we need to be ready to stop it in case he does try.
If President Obama does force a vote, realistically our best chance at defeating TPP is in the House of Representatives.
The reality of how the fast track process works is that TPP can’t be amended — not a single word. It’s also true that TPP can’t be filibustered in the Senate. It just needs 50 votes if President Obama decides to submit it to Congress.
We know that Bernie Sanders will oppose TPP, but the same can’t be said for many other members of the Senate. If TPP comes up in the Senate, it’s likely it will pass. It’s not great, but that’s what we’re facing.
Our best chance to defeat TPP is in the House of Representatives. If we can get a majority of members of Congress to vote no on TPP, we can win. So we must focus our efforts there.
Wednesday is a national day of action focusing on the House of Representatives to stop TPP.
For years, a big coalition of labor, environmental, trade, and other groups has worked to stop TPP. Together these groups have millions of members who have spoken out, made phone calls, lobbied politicians, and done everything they can to stop TPP.
All of these groups and all of their members – including Our Revolution – are building towards a huge day of action this Wednesday focused on the House of Representatives.
Our goal is to place at least 50,000 calls to members of Congress and their offices on Wednesday. With your help, we’re going to help lead this fight and find out where these representatives stand on TPP, and we’re going to do everything we can to make sure that they know the people they represent want to defeat TPP.
We can only win if all of us get involved to stop TPP.
If TPP passes, there’s no going back. The only way to get out of the trade deal – even to change a single word! – is if every one of the 12 nations agree. That’s not going to happen. So we need to defeat TPP now.
Big corporate interests and Wall Street are lining up to help TPP pass Congress when President Obama starts the fast track process. We’ve proven before that when enough people stand together, we can beat those special interests. Now we need to do it again, starting with our day of action on Wednesday to reach our goal of 50,000 calls to Congress.
Linda, this is what we need you to do:
The first step to stopping TPP is showing a huge number of people oppose it. Members of Congress and the media need to know that millions of people want to stop this trade deal.
Add your name and say that you want to stop TPP and have your voice counted.
ADD YOUR NAME
Thanks for all you do for our movement. We’ll be in touch soon about how else you can help stop TPP.
In solidarity,
Larry Cohen

Chair of the Board, Our Revolution

US union leaders and Bernie Sanders’s new Our Revolution group came together on Wednesday to launch a campaign against the “disastrous” Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) free trade deal.
They urged voters to contact their congressional representatives and press them to oppose the secretive pact.
American Postal Workers Union president Mark Dimondstein warned: “TPP would kill jobs, weaken workers’ rights at home and abroad and harm the environment.
“It’s about increasing the power of multinational corporations to dictate our future and taking away the rights of workers and others to advocate for a better quality of life.”
David Durkee, president of the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union, called TPP “an awful trade deal that will put Americans out of work, degrade environmental protections and increase prescription drug prices.
“It also will give more than 9,000 foreign corporations the right to sue the United States for unlimited amounts of taxpayer money if these corporations feel their rights as foreign investors have been violated,” Mr Durkee warned.
