Stop Trans-Pacific Partnership Trade Deal
Make negotiation developments for the all-important TPP trade deal known to the public. With so much at stake, for the very long-term, the public, AND Congress deserve to know and be a part of the process!
Why is this important?
Leaks from the secret negotiations reveal that multinationals are the clear winners, at the expense of ordinary people, in the most draconian manners. Examples include the ability for large Pharma companies to eliminate generic, lower costing drugs from being available; allowing greater leniency for multinational companies to, for example pollute, or not replant than the same type of company that is domestic due to different "laws" applying. If NAFTA took important power from the people, it's believed that this agreement, set to be passed before election day, will be a coup for corporations, to the detriment of our country.
