(62,325 posts)other Democrats who have been kept in the dark about this 'agreement'. I trust the combined number of good Democrats and Economists, not to mention that thanks to some Whistle Blowers, we have seen some of what is there and it confirms the statements made by all those who have voiced their opposition.
There would be no need for anyone to be arguing over this if the Dems request to simply give them access, which they have a RIGHT TO, it is an outrage that OUR REPS in Congress have been denied what is their right as part of their duty to the American people.
If it's so great, why the big effort to just 'get it passed' without allowing even those who are entitled to be a part of this process, to see it?
You don't have to be a great detective to know when someone fights so hard to hide something, there is generally a reason for that.
Just give the American people the information they need to decide if these Global Corporations who are writing this agreement, are working in their best interests.
Why would ANYONE object to that?
