FRIEND,
John Boehner is a sore loser.
Last Friday, he and other corporate shills in the U.S. House of Representatives lost their latest bid to “Fast Track” the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) — a grab bag of giveaways to Big Business that is being secretly negotiated between the United States and 11 Asian-Pacific countries under the guise of “free trade.”
But Boehner and his buddies have already concocted a procedural maneuver to hold yet another vote — TODAY — that would Fast Track the TPP!
Well, if they are going to keep trying to force Fast Track and the TPP on us, we HAVE TO keep doing our part to block it.
Take action RIGHT NOW: Tell your representative to vote “No” whenever the House votes on John Boehner’s next ploy to Fast Track the TPP.
The TPP is barely about trade at all.
It is an insidious scheme by multinational corporations for unprecedented power to evade the laws and regulations that protect us from their reckless pursuit of profits.
Fast Tracking the TPP would make it easier to offshore our jobs and push down our wages by throwing Americans into competition with workers in Vietnam making less than 60 cents an hour.
And it would flood us with unsafe imported food, increase fracking, roll back Wall Street regulation, and on and on and on.
Don’t make the mistake of thinking the TPP is too complex or abstract to worry about.
You need to be worried about the TPP.
The TPP will affect every aspect of your day-to-day life.
It would do all of the damage NAFTA did to jobs, wages, food safety, the environment and more. But the damage would be even worse than NAFTA.
And Fast Tracking the TPP is the top priority of Big Business in this Congress.
Whether you’ve taken action against Fast Track before or are a newbie, email your representative IMMEDIATELY to block Fast Track and the TPP.
Thank you.
Onward,
Robert Weissman
President, Public Citizen
