Thanks for this. It's wonderful and rare to hear a passionate voice of opposition in Congress to anything the executive branch wants. And to whomever edited this for YouTube, thanks for cutting it off at the end so that I can imagine a bipartisan standing ovation after he finished.
Just like Costa Rica, the "free" trade elitists will use Threats, Dirty Tricks, Fake Polls to undermine Brown. It has to be depressing to Brown to be a Democrat especially since most of the party IDEOLOGICALLY undermines him. With that kind of treatment, he sure doesn't need the GOP at this rate. Brown will be much stronger if he switches to Independent status now that he has won his term. Then, after freely fighting for the people's choices, he can run as a STRONG INDEPENDENT again in 2012 if he chooses to run another term and help not only continue his fight but work with Sanders to grow the Progressive Independent movement and not be SHACKLED to either the Dems or Reps.
very nice ... more please.
I wish someone would round up all the progressive caucus and create a progressive part.
I wish we had 50 more Browns and Sanders in Congress to stop our slide into a oligarchy.
