The senate has just given President Obama the power to take America into the dreaded Trans-Pacific Partnership, described as “NAFTA on Steroids” because it probably includes provisions enabling Corporations to sue governments for laws they enact to protect the environment – as NAFTA’s Chapter 11 now does.
Congress is next to vote to give the President similar, draconian, totally undemocratic powers.
Please read up (if you need to) on the TPP and quickly sign Naomi Klein’s petition against it HERE!
PLEASE.
IT’S URGENT…
