The TPP debate reminds me of what NAFTA did in the last decade. I remember the 2005 JibJab - Big Box Mart https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKv6RcXa2UI video explaining the whole sad situation.

Mueller's favorite place to pray (written about in "Prophet's Way"), and the roof of the room where the Last Supper is reputed to have happened.
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom is a national treasure. Read him, embrace him, learn from him, and follow him as we all work for social change."
From Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
From Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
If Bernie approached public TV in a state with a Republican candidate with an offer to debate said candidate, that would be an irresistible offer to the benefit of the station and would be a put up or shut up to the Republicans. Cross party debate is a brilliant idea which can break Bernie out of the corporate media imposed straight jacket.
