By the way: Greenpeace will be publishing (some) details of the TTIP lkater today. For European consumers, it is a full-on frontal attack on their consumer protections and environmental regulations.

If you vote for Bernie for no other reason, please vote for him because he opposes these very damaging and dangerous trade agreements.

We can trade without these agreements.

This video explains many of the problems I have with the trade agreements.

Hillary focuses on the problems with the labor provisions, but the trade courts and the attempts to find the lowest common denominator and impose that on all nations when it comes to safety and environmental standards are just as bad as the lack of protections for workers.

Please, please do everything you can to stop the corporate coup that is inherent in these agreements.

And that means DO NOT VOTE FOR HILLARY. She uses weasel words to support her claim that she opposes these agreements. She talks about the labor provisions. They are bad or nonexistent and ineffective, but they are not the only danger to Americans in these agreements.

Please, everyone. Please watch this long video. It is really essential for all of our futures that we reject these trade agreements.

Rather than join new trade agreement organizations, we need to review the ones we have including NAFTA.

Please.

Corporate power and influence must be rolled back from what it is now. More corporate power is out of the question.
