Sessions Warns TPA Would Create ‘Pacific Union’ Akin to European Union
Breitbart ^ | June 10th, 2015 | by Jeff Poor

Posted on 06/10/2015 4:48:11 PM PDT by Mariner

In a joint appearance on Sean Hannity’s radio show on Wednesday, Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL)

and Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) warned against the passage of the so-called Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) currently being considered by the Congress.

Sessions argued it was more than just a framework for a process for the president of the United States to use in negotiating trade agreements, but instead was creating an economic union with wide-ranging powers.

“I’ve been there three times and I can tell you it is far more than a trade agreement,” he said. “It is a creating of an economic union. The congressional resource said it is a wide-ranging political and economic partnership that is created where the Sultan of Brunei gets one vote. The president of the United States gets one vote. Twelve countries – they have the ability to add other treaties and pass them. They have the ability to deal with climate issues, wage issues and environmental issues. There’s just no doubt about that.”

TPA Would Create ‘Pacific Union’ Akin to European Union

And after that, maybe the Union could have a catchy name, like "EastAsia", and the EU Could call itself "Eurasia", leaving the U.S., U.K. and Australia to form Oceania.

Cruz is Pres campaign is funded by Hedge funds Billionaires..
http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2015/04/hedgefund-magnate-backing-cruz-is-major-investor-in-205434.html

And Goldman Sachs and Wall Street are
going to avoid lots of taxes with this Phony trade bill which has nothing to do with trade helping US workers mostly sending white collar jobs overseas while sending the unwashed masses of SE Asia here to vote Dem.

Also H-1 visas that Cruz donors have been trying to quietly sneak thru congress can be added by Barry since its an OPEN Treaty which means its can be modified at any time after signing ,

Brilliant idea to give Barry the Soros puppet unlimited power.

Thank you, Hostage. We shouldn’t have to be raging over this, Cruz has explained his reasonings but hasn’t put together a 30m video to tie it all together.

His communications director needs to be fired TODAY.

"Walker supports it too."

I haven't seen any reference to that. I'd appreciate it if you could share as ANY POTUS candidate must be held to account for their position on this.

Don’t give 0bama a blank check of any kind.

Don't give ANY president a blank check of any kind! Some of the worst programs were first instituted under Republican administrations.

If Sessions says it’s not good policy then that’s good enough for me. It looks like there is a well coordinated across the aisle Oligarchy hell bent on destroying the USA and creating a One World Government upon the industrialized nations be they free nations or otherwise. They, being the ruling elite stinking Oligarchs make themselves exempt from the fallout of it all. Oh and I bet there’s High Fives in Crawford, Florida, and up in Maine too.

I’m torn. I keep sending the RNC mailers back saying I’d donate $100 but I went ahead and sent it directly to Cruz for them. (4 times now)

After Cruz’ vote, I sent a message saying that I’m done donating to his campaign. (Got nothing back but crickets)

I hope the RNC is done sending me mail...

Sessions is the only one who has read parts of it and had the courage to divulge some of the contents.
I’ll take his word as bond.
