Have you heard on the corporate media that public comments on TPP can be posted through Wednesday January 13?
Easier question, have you heard much at all about TPP in recent months?
About 6 months ago it looked like TPP was unstoppable. The push back around the world and here in the US, the Bernie movement and a wide variety of groups have come out strongly against these “trade” agreements
The corporate coup d’etat has already gone too far and there is no need to make it worst through these “trade” agreements.
Obama is clearly on the wrong side by pushing for the TPP. Others have pointed out that if he had put as much effort into single payer health care as he did in TPP, we would have already had health care.
The text of the agreement which has been written in secret for several years is finally out and those who have read it say that it is worse than we suspected from the leaks of drafts.
Obama has Fast Track Authority from Congress and in times past that would have been a guarantee that the legislation for TPP would pass. Now that more realize that the oligarchy runs the world, there is still a chance to stop TPP.
Your chance to officially tell the USTR what you think about the TPP
One of the reasons that the Bernie support got off to a fast start was Bernie’s strong stand against these trade agreements.
These agreements are very hard to unravel, by design, so it is important to stop TPP now
