Derail the Trans-Pacific Partnership
No backroom deals for the 1%

Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) “free trade” agreement talks resume this week in Dallas, Texas (May 8-18). Once again, negotiations will take place with the public locked out and the texts held in tight secrecy, meanwhile over 600 corporate “advisors” have regular access to the negotiating texts. On the table is a veritable smorgasbord of extreme new corporate rights to slam the 99%.

It’s time to unlock the secrets. Watch our new TPP parody music video based on the Jackson 5’s “ABC” hit. Then make a difference and sign our petition.


Sign the TPP Petition below:

Dear U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk:

Americans deserve the right to know what U.S. trade negotiators are proposing in our name.

The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) “free trade” agreement is likely to impact jobs, wages, agriculture, migration, the environment, access to medicine, consumer safety, banking regulations, indigenous rights, Internet freedom, government procurement and more. A pact this far-reaching should be negotiated in the most transparent and participatory manner possible.

Please publicly release all the TPP proposals now.

Sincerely,

3. I know many of us are tired of "Petitions that Go Nowhere" but DU'ers should educate

themselves on this issue.

If you feel it's a GOOD THING then please post WHY!

So far it don't see any "push back or support," for a very important Trade Agreement that goes against the TRANSPARENCY that Obama promised those of us who voted for him.

So WHAT DO YOU THINK? PRO: WHY?....CON: WHY?

Why is it that this isn't a DISCUSSION for Democratic Undergound?
