Hopefully it gets Twittered and Facebooked around so that all the younger folks can talk about it.
The people I come in contact with usually go "Huh?" And, they wouldn't bother to go to the website to read it.
But its a great read. "TPP for DUMMIES" and that's what we need!

If we could get stuff about the TPP to them, and they covered the TPP, then maybe it would start waking people up.
I always introduce the topic as the "Toilet Paper Prevention" act because boy oh boy, if Americans had to wipe their butts with corn husks, like the good ol' days, there would be a huge and outraged protest against this "Trade Agreement.".

(84,711 posts)Stewart could at least do a few graphics of it and link to the website. It could get Huge Response from his audience and therefore reach many more! Colbert Too might be a great one to do this! And..in some way, more receptive if you were blocked from Stewart.
Thanks for posting about your interaction with them.

Ya never know if it is something as innocuous as a Spam Blocker (And if you and I need one, I can only imagine being Stewart or Sam Bee.)
Or it could be CIA goons inside the Daily Show organization. Stewart has done remarkably well in terms of thinking outside the box - I am sure the CIA goons would like to control him more, but can't. (At least they can't control his mental processes, but probably do have ways of controlling who gets through to him.) And same, of course with Colbert.

(84,711 posts)I'm not signed up to Twitter but follow a few business reporters and it seems you can sign up for Twitter to post easily. Then send link for this to both Colbert and Stewart and see if it gets picked up by them and their followers on Twitter.
Seems most of the Media Glitterati use "Twitter" these days to get ideas and stories their PR/Media Crews can use and then get into their production teams formats for shows.
Good Luck!
