The TPP, or Trans Pacific Partnership is on its way to being fast tracked this week, and could be pushed through via POTUS as soon as today.
The TPP, is one of the most secretive trade deals since NAFTA and GATT, that the Clinton Administration was largely responsible for, although it is well understood these plans go back many decades and are just now being primed to become operational.
WikiLeaks, has released two sets of documents concerning the TPP, in an attempt to release the information so people can become aware of what it is all about. You can find the first leak here.
It is now time to get on the phone and call your local representatives and congressmen, and make a fuss about the TPP as much as possible. Call floods, Twitter hashtags, Facebook posts, article write-ups, and even making short videos to share all over social media can help to slow down the nearly inevitable Trade Agreement that seeks to limit Internet Freedoms, among other viscous freedom-restricting provisions.
[UPDATE] Petitions and ACTION you can TAKE!!!
The Trans Pacific Partnership is our worst nightmare. It will affect everything from GMOs and labeling, food safety, environmental issues, public health, jobs, the Internet and much more and will give nearly unlimited power to the big corporations.
