TPP Action Alert: Fast Track legislation to be introduced into Senate tomorrow

[LongTomH]

Crooks and Liars has issued an action alert for the introduction of legislation enabling fast-tracking of approval of the Trans Pacific Partnership. They are asking for phone calls or emails to senators opposing fast-tracking.

This week, a bill to give the president Fast Track authority — designed to push through the Trans-Pacific Partnership with little public debate — will be introduced in the Senate.The TPP is a disastrous trade agreement designed to protect the interests of the largest multi-national corporations at the expense of workers, consumers, the environment and the foundations of American democracy. It will also negatively impact some of the poorest people in the world.

Big corporations wrote the TPP behind closed doors.
Incredibly, while Wall Street, the pharmaceutical industry, and major media companies have full knowledge as to what is in this treaty, the American people and members of Congress do not. They have been locked out of the process.
