   Yeah, boy, Hunter has it right!

   If these people who voted for the fast-track would stop voting the way the leadership tells them to, and stop long enough to read the G.D. bill…

   We wouldn’t have a problem! So, I say to my constituents in Congress from Iowa, take the time to vote for any bill that smacks of treason!

   This is a damned priority!!! And remember how much of a salary you are making!

   You have to look past the front cover, to see what’s inside the damned thing…

   And take up to a damned week or longer to read everything! Stop getting paid for a half-assed job! Stop being pushed into voting for something you don’t know anything about!

   How long does this continue, with voting without reading?

   This whole, long 6 1/2 years has been an exercise in treason!

   Thanks to the idiot voters and to the treasonous scum in Congress!

   We need a large number of Congress to become the new “Mr Smith Goes To Washington!” Don’t let these nwo types in Congress pressure you to vote quick on anything!!!!

   At the end of the 3rd Paragraph…

   …take the time to (read, first) and don’t vote for any bill that smacks of treason!

   I stand on a premise until proven otherwise that many if not most of elected and appointed public officials, local to federal, are bought and sold by money interests. Been there and seen it.

   From Liberty News..

   The following list reveals how much money is flowing from government supported corporations that want to see TPP enacted for their own financial gain. Via The Guardian.

   Out of the total $1,148,971 given, an average of $17,676.48 was donated to each of the 65 “yea” votes.
   The average Republican member received $19,673.28 from corporate TPP supporters.
   The average Democrat received $9,689.23 from those same donors.
   The amounts given rise dramatically when looking at how much each senator running for re-election received.
   Two days before the fast-track vote, Obama was a few votes shy of having the filibuster-proof majority he needed. Ron Wyden and seven other Senate Democrats announced they were on the fence on May 12th, distinguishing themselves from the Senate’s 54 Republicans and handful of Democrats as the votes to sway.
   In just 24 hours, Wyden and five of those Democratic holdouts – Michael Bennet of Colorado, Dianne Feinstein of California (already a proponent but wanting some quick cash), Claire McCaskill of Missouri, Patty Murray of Washington, and Bill Nelson of Florida – caved and voted for fast-track.
   Bennet, Murray, and Wyden – all running for re-election in 2016 – received $105,900 between the three of them. Bennet, who comes from the more purple state of Colorado, got $53,700 in corporate campaign donations between January and March 2015, according to Channing’s research.
   Senator Rob Portman of Ohio, who is the former US trade representative, has been one of the loudest proponents of the TPP. (In a comment to the Guardian Portman’s office said: “Senator Portman is not a vocal proponent of TPP – he has said it’s still being negotiated and if and when an agreement is reached he will review it carefully.”) He received $119,700 from 14 different corporations between January and March, most of which comes from donations from Goldman Sachs ($70,600), Pfizer ($15,700), and Procter & Gamble ($12,900). Portman is expected to run against former Ohio governor Ted Strickland in 2016 in one of the most politically competitive states in the country.
   Seven Republicans who voted “yea” to fast-track and are also running for re-election next year cleaned up between January and March. Senator Johnny Isakson of Georgia received $102,500 in corporate contributions. Senator Roy Blunt of Missouri, best known for proposing a Monsanto-written bill in 2013 that became known as the Monsanto Protection Act, received $77,900 – $13,500 of which came from Monsanto.
   Arizona senator and former presidential candidate John McCain received $51,700 in the first quarter of 2015. Senator Richard Burr of North Carolina received $60,000 in corporate donations. Eighty-one-year-old senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa, who is running for his seventh Senate term, received $35,000. Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina, who will be running for his first full six-year term in 2016, received $67,500 from pro-TPP corporations.
