Americans Must Stop Trans-Pacific Partnership

The U.S.Corporation Once Again Sells Out the American People

We Must Stop the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement

• The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is a secretive, multi-nation trade agreement that threatens to extend restrictive intellectual property laws across the globe.
• 600 secret corporate “official US advisors” wrote themselves a beautiful deal in the TPP or Trans-Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership Agreement. The final nail in the coffin for the United States as a sovereign nation. If you were proud to be an American, you can kiss your country goodbye when this becomes international law. It effectively supercedes the highest court in our land, because the TPP gives corporations the right to sue governments, and gives them the upper hand if it can be shown that our country’s laws threatened their profit-making agenda.
• TPP is bad on so many levels, that one wonders who would ever vote for this sort of thing. Yet, whenever trade agreements didn’t work for us Americans, like GATT, or NAFTA, or the FTAA, our congress and president passed those without any difficulty, and against public opinion.
• Obama has reaffirmed his commitment to the TPP, and Romney would sign it because he would argue that it represents “free trade.”
• TPP Agreements are so secretive even members of congress have a hard time getting their hands on them. According to a Zach Carter, Senator Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee’s subcommittee on International Trade, Customs and Global Competitiveness, was stonewalled by the Office of U.S Trade Representatives (USTR) when he attempted to see any of the draft documents related to the governance of the TPP. www.writeindependent.org/blog/?p=1088
