This all seems great, mostly, but there are phrases that give me pause, basically all the references to 'establishment' and 'elite' and so forth, and, 'the most powerful political machine in America.' There's a reason the nebulous 'corruption' is the first point there, as it's the most effective lizard brain pandering. Those Fat Cats In Washington!
Also, this is kinda scary (and 'rigged' seems very trumpian):

Block the TPP and all outsourcing deals that will further damage the middle-class. As a result of NAFTA, CAFTA, PNTR with China and the WTO, Americans have lost millions of decent paying jobs. It’s time to end the race to the bottom and renegotiate these rigged deals that only benefit elites. We should not sacrifice our sovereignty, the only people who are allowed to make laws for the United States should be the American people, not multinational corporations.
