Everyone you are connected to needs to know how evil and greed driven this nasty TPP really is so they can voice their opposition...we need millions saying NO.

These corporations are allowed to amass such huge amounts of stolen loot that they can buy anyone. They bribe officials, they turn back regulations that kept them in check because they have all our money. We let these corporate syndicates rule us by allowing capitalism. Regulating them is only a temporary fix. They always find a way to use their ill gotten gains to take total control away from citizens and workers.

If we got rid of capitalism, and turned the means of production, control of the corporations, over to workers then we wouldn't have these problems. We wouldn't have a handful of uber rich white fat men ruling us.
