Speak about against new trade agreement

Hold on to your hats, your generic medicines and U.S. sovereignty, because the worst trade agreement imaginable is looming on the horizon, and it's being negotiated in secret.

Remember NAFTA and the U.S.-Korea Free Trade agreements? How did that work out for you? Wait and see what 600 corporate 'consultants” have in store for you with the Trans Pacific Partnership trade agreement.

Increased loss of U.S. jobs, tainted food from far-off lands, enhanced deregulation of Wall Street, and relaxed environmental and safety standards among other things.,

The Trans Pacific Partnership trade agreement is a power grab by corporations.

Governmental procurement preferences for U.S.-based products or services will be challenged, including 'buy American,” 'buy local” or preferences for U.S.-based call centers. Any country bordering the Pacific Ocean can sign on, including Vietnam with its well-documented cases of child and slave labor.

This is scary, folks. Learn about the TPP and contact your congressional delegation to say 'no” to fast-track authority and no to the TPP.
