Stop TPP (NAFTA on Steroids) Before January

I learned on the news that Mitch McConnell and President Obama are pledging to cooperate on passing the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade agreement as a top priority in the new Republican-led Congress. We have a critical window of opportunity to stop this before the new term starts in January. Please contact the President and your congressional representatives now to voice your opposition.

Why is this important?

I want to preserve the people's voice in how our economy works, not only for adults like me and my loved ones, but also for the children who need to have an economy they can thrive in. The TPP would devastate jobs, not only internationally, but also within the United States, in ways not seen before. It would even ban "Buy American, Buy Local," an effort that has preserved and grown U.S. jobs for decades. For more information, view these links:
