    People, this is an organization that is promoting change at the local level from coast to coast. They’re not associate with a party. Their goal is issues. “People’s Action is a powerful new force for democracy and economic fairness. From family farms to big cities, from coast to coast, we’re fighting for community over greed, justice over racism, and people and planet over big corporations.”

    If you google LeeAnn Hall and George Goehl you will find that there are a million plus members.

    There is another group called The Coalition for a Prosperous America.org that has proven results of making positive change for the middle class and I think they have about 6M members that are most actively pushing for the Balanced Trade and badly needed reforms in the TPP. But if Trump wants to make a separate trade deal for each country I’m all for that as long as the middle class gets its fair share. Same goes for free riding NATO countries. They also must pay their fair share . We truly do need to put America’s middle class first. The wealth and wage inequality in America must be reversed and made more fair opportunity to all Americans…

    Ryan thanks for the post on CPA (Coalition for a Prosperous America).

    “CPA’s focus is upon the “grass tops”… local leaders in the states and communities. We are educating citizens and local opinion leaders where they live and work. We are identifying those elected members of Congress who favor improved trade policies and, as importantly, those who do not. We hold economic summits across the country to inform local leaders on the issues. Engaging Washington is important, but politicians come home on the weekends, and must face the citizens. Engaging America is our primary focus.”
