There has been a lot of discussion and confusion about TPA, especially since it has been voted on in Congress. What I have found from research is that what changes there have been to TPA since the 2002 version have been positive changes that strengthen human rights and protect our national sovereignty and laws.
I have attached some comparison charts that I hope will prove useful to those who would like to look more carefully at what this law does and does not do.
If it weren’t for you and other Freepers who get informed before attacking, I would truly despair. Thanks for being fair minded and honest.
I think I’ll just wait for the 60 day period after the bill comes out to see what the terms are before I start watching for the sky to fall.
The only reason these trade deals have to be secret while being negotiated is because certain businesses get screwed by the agreement.
So what’s the hurry?
Polls show the American people do not not support Obamatrade.
Better to delay any votes until the secret bill in the secret room is made
public for ALL to read.
That of course may not happen as your buddy Bonehead is going to try
to ram it thru like he did the Cromibus bill next week.
Won’t matter. All they will need is a simple majority. And the simple majority of our legislators are corrupt now.
“The only reason these trade deals have to be secret while being negotiated is because certain businesses get screwed by the agreement.”
Do you have an example of that? My understanding was that it was difficult to come to agreement when other countries were waiting to see what deal someone else was getting.
Thank you so much for posting the correct links. I am extremely tech challenged! :)
Thanks for pointing that out and pinging Jim.
Do you not understand that under TPA the TPP bill is required to be made public for 60 days before a vote can occur? TPA is available and has always been available for everyone to read.
This is not that complicated if there is a willingness to understand.
It would only take a handful of Republicans to defeat TPP if and when it comes up for vote. All Dems will vote against because of the unions.
No more votes on ANY part of Obamatrade until the secret bill in the secret
room is made public.
What part of that do you not understand?
Stop the entire process until the secret bill in the secret room is made public.
We have had trade agreements done with single countries in the past. South Korea for example. Those were kept secret. There will be winners and losers in every trade agreement. We want to know up front now who is losing because the winners tend to be the ones who contributed the most to get our legislators elected. Called cronyism and it needs to stop before the nation is toast.
“This is not that complicated if there is a willingness to understand.”
I guess I am not the only one that does not understand.
The bill that Bonehead, McCarthy and Ryan tried to ram thru went down
to a stunning defeat(The First Vote).
In addition, polls show Americans do not support this bill under this
America hating President.
It is you that is in the minority on this Obamatrade.
Not when Hillary the Great is President. The Dems will be forced to vote for everything she wants. At least the ones in relatively safe districts. And she is Queen Crony. So RINOs and DINOs will be living in hog heaven under the queen. Would not be worried about Queen Hillary getting elected if Lois Lernrr was in a jail cell right now.
It is a custom to cc: people about whom who post
(and lie about).
But then, you admit to finding long English sentences
to be difficult, and you do defend SECRECY, and
Congress’ protection of Islamic terrorists and globalist.
You are confused.
“Toast” Cruz was on a Mission to destroy ... HIS Candidacy.
“Toast” Cruz and his wife need no additional help.
I am horrified I once supported, and defended him
because “Toast’s” protection of, and empowerment of,
Obama and SECRECY is stupid and odious.
You won’t find any post from me concerning Cruz is toast.
However, just because my two favorite candidates Cruz and Walker
support Obamatrade does not mean I have to.
I am appalled by the Secrecy of it all.
I do believe Cruz would have been wise to withhold his support for
Obamatrade until the Secret Bill in the Secret Room was made public.
I do trust Obama and I do not trust GOP leadership.
Neither has earned any trust. That is my opinion and I’m sticking to it.
Certainly not the same, but way over my head.

By now, everyone knows about TPA and TPP. The idea that TPA is harmless and we’ll get to see what’s in TPP before it is voted on is dishonest. If TPA supporters just wanted to give the administration room to negotiate they wouldn’t lower the number of votes needed for passage. Since this illogical addition is made, they are obviously lying about their intentions.
