I barely have time to write my own posts and pimp them later, let alone going to bat for someone else’s work. But dammit, with all the NOISE going on, we're becoming disengaged from something pretty damned important and we had better buckle down and start paying more attention.
To wit, see a sobering example of weasel-wording from an esteemed Senator, put forth in fine form here. Give Alligator Ed some love and then start working those phones and keyboards!
I will keep your thoughts in mind as I review the final text of TPP.
Yeah, I’ll bet, Mrs. Feinstein. While strategists continue to jerk us all around with the NOISE about PRIMARIES, this shit continues to fly under the radar.
It’s time to get fucking serious, people:
The Trans Pacific Partnership, one of the biggest multinational trade deals ever, has been signed by ministers from its 12 member nations in New Zealand.
The ceremony in Auckland brings the huge trade pact, which has been five years in the making, another step towards to becoming a reality.
The text of this imminent "legislation” can be found on the United States Trade Representative's website ustr.gov. Read it and weep.
Find your reps and Senators here and start clicking through. Get on the horn/email/snailmail. We need to inundate these people with opposition.
This thing cannot be signed as is, but it will be if we don’t stop it RIGHT NOW.
