Barack Obama
The trade agreement itself does have labor and environmental protections, but we have to stand for human rights and we have to make sure that violence isn't being perpetrated against workers who are just trying to organize for their rights.
Barack Obama
I think it's about time! Who cares whether he is looking for votes or not! At least your country is moving forward with the times!
Barack Obama
