Subject: Stop The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP)
Hi,
The Obama Administration is currently negotiating, in secret, a massive so called free trade agreement called the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). TPP leaks indicate that this agreement will greatly empower Corporations by virtually eliminating consumer, health, safety, labor, privacy and environmental regulations. In essence this will be a global Corporate coup. In order to get this through congress President Obama will be asking Congress to approve fast track legislation. We urge all our Congressional representatives, Senators and Representatives alike to vote no on fast track legislation.
That's why I signed a petition to The United States House of Representatives and The United States Senate.
Will you sign this petition? Click here:

Thanks!

All I get anymore are form letters.

Well at least their aides will know how we feel. The senators will know first hand how we feel on election day.

This is important. This isn't just jobs but copyright and pharmaceutical patent law. Lots of stuff to discuss. It is pathetic that this is not reported on in the MSM daily. Very important legislation and not just for crackpots to be concerned about. Please consider signing.
