10. Yep, TPP: The penultimate Bill from ALEC's Mill. Majority Dem opposition has been ignored,suppressed

Along with many millions of the majority of Dems who oppose TPP, I signed petitions, wrote letters beseeching my Dem Congressman, Dem Senators and Dem President. We were ignored and Fast Track enabling the TPP (and subsequent anti democracy T treaties in the pipeline) sleezed through. The President of the US Chamber of Commerce has admitted that "the plan" is to push through the TPP
in lame duck Congress.

Why shouldn't people not able to bring their unheard voices, draw attention to the TPP and it's imminent passage, here at the floor of
The Democratic Convention? Isn't this our Party's largest and most televised forum to show all voters what we stand for?

If not here and now, where and when?
