Every time I hear Lori Wallach speak, it is better than sex. I heard her again the other day, this time on "Sly," a Wisconsin talker.
Hear Lori Wallach, (also from Wisconsin), speak against the TPP*. Lori Wallach, trade expert and superhero, has an expressive, articulated voice, similar to that which develops in some artsy-progressive females. I think of the woman on, "This American Life"; or Rachel Maddow; or Lois Lane, or the reporter on, "Hudsucker Proxy." It's a dorky, indie-kind of sweet - (possibly exclusive to women who have graduated from women's colleges in western Massachusetts). Her voice made me think that Lori Wallach was in her thirties - but she's in her 50's. And her hair isn't jet-black.

Lori Wallach has to say which I find most attractive! She is really the main voice speaking out against the TPP, and similar sham-wows, and the whole scam referred to as
"FREE trade." In the interview with Sly, Wallach warned that
President Obama will be pushing for a vote on the TPP during the lame-duck session of Congress. Traditionally, lame-duck presidents have not been able to get a lot done, especially when opposed by the majority. However, there are a lot of people in Congress who will be on their way out, and they are looking for nice cushy jobs with mega-corporations, so they are likely to do a little quid-pro-quo voting. And Obama just might pull it off - this, the major goal of his presidency, apparently. If Obama passes the TPP, he won't have to grovel, giving speeches to Goldman-Sachs - he'll be set for life. (And ya know what? It disgusts me).
Wallach also mentioned that the Wisconsin Congressman from La Cross,
Ron Kind, is very pro-TPP. You might also be surprised to know that so-called progressives,
Howard Dean and
Ron Wyden, who has supported other "free" trade swindles. (One reason why?
Port cities). . (
Jeff Merkley, the OTHER progressive Senator from Oregon, was the first Senator to endorse the venerable Bernie Sanders -
Why I’m Supporting Bernie Sanders - by Senator Jeff Merkley). I think the Democratic Party has achieved its ultimate goal, which was to morph into a slicker, $icker version of the Republican Party, hiding this behind its resort to liberal social issues and identity politics. Thus we have even seen
Russ Feingold and
Tammy Baldwin turn away from Bernie to support Hillary, and all her corporate baggage.

'Disappointed' in Obama, Sanders Calls on Top Dems to Drop Lame Duck TPP PushTPP will cost American jobs, harm the environment, increase the cost of prescription drugs, and threaten our ability to protect public health
Hillary Clinton may not have heeded progressives' call to clearly say she'll urge the White House and her fellow party members to oppose a "lame-duck" vote on the Trans Pacific Partnership, but Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has done just that, calling on Democratic Congressional leadership to publicly oppose a post-Election Day vote on the "job-killing trade deal."
