Thanks for the link. Certainly sounds too ominous for words, but is that link sourced for activism or with the facts. I mean, if it’s accurate, that doesn’t sound like anything Jeff Sessions or Ted Cruz would approve, even though most of us are for free trade, but only under some other president than Obama.
Also, Jeff Sessions voted against cloture didn’t he? And Ted voted for it. I must say it’s all too spooky, or else we are missing the fine print totally.
This TPP or TPA bill is the worst bill ever:
The controversial TPP, of course, is disguised as a treaty to promote “free trade” — more properly described as managed or corporatist trade — among nations surrounding the Pacific. However, the TPP agreement, currently being negotiated behind closed doors by governments, dictatorships, and special interests, includes some major surprises. As The New American reported recently, a leaked chapter of the TPP deal would create NAFTA-style international “tribunals” with the purported authority to override American laws, courts, and even the U.S. and state constitutions — all for the benefit of special interests, foreigners, and crony capitalists. The American people and self-government would be the big losers.
Another chapter of the agreement making headlines this week, meanwhile, purports to regulate immigration policies among TPP signatories. “The Trans-Pacific Partnership includes an entire chapter on immigration,” observed Curtis Ellis, executive director of the American Jobs Alliance, in a post for The Hill. “It is a Trojan horse for Obama’s immigration agenda. House members who were ready to defund the Department of Homeland Security to stop President Obama’s executive action on immigration must not give him TPA, which he will use to ensure his immigration actions are locked in when he leaves office.”
Not a single Gop senator voted against it except the three that missed the vote.
