After boosting trade pacts, Hillary Clinton gets millions from speeches to traders
McClatchy ^ | May 19th, 2015 | By Greg Gordon

WASHINGTON — Traveling the world as secretary of state, Hillary Clinton was a vocal booster of legislation to fast-track congressional action on global trade agreements.

She also spoke in favor of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which would lift barriers to trade with 11 Asian and Pacific Rim countries.

Now, with the release last week of her latest financial disclosure statement, Clinton has revealed the flow of a different kind of trade dollars.

Companies and coalitions aligned with her past positions on the trade legislation ponied up more than $2 million of the nearly $12 million in speaking fees Clinton hauled in between January 2014 and this March, weeks before she declared her candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomination.

MSM will turn right around and argue that this is fine, she deserves it, and anyone who says otherwise is woman-hater.

But that trade bill will be sooo good for America. Never mind that our politicians are getting paid to say that.

This Obama “trade” bill is the worst bill EVER. Just read some of the links I post here below if you don’t believe it.

This TTP/TPA Obama trade deal is a trojan horse.It’s disguised as “free trade” What It really allows is for Obama to flood the USA with unlimited number of immigrants and to destroy the rest of U.S industry...
http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/immigration/item/20710-obama-gop-trade-scheme-includes-unrestricted-immigration

It’s Obamatrade but also Obama Amnesty to all the 3rd world.

http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2015/04/dick_morris_fast_track_could_lead_to_unlimited_immigration.html

This Fast track gives Obama power to make treaties that override U.S. laws. Soros wrote a book on how to do this. So these “conservative” Senators are voting to give Obama power to rewrite all U.S. laws because treaties override U.S. laws. It’s the destruction of the republic. Proof here :

Fast track gives Obama the authority to rewrite all U.S. laws in secret. He and some 3rd world dictators can write some “trade” treaty that is secret and overrides any U.S. laws.

Call congress and tell them not to support this destruction of America and our jobs.It's treason that many senators voted for this to empower this Obama communist

We demand government of the people and States Rights. The States and the people are supposed to have all the power not a single enemy of America named barak Obama.

Obama can in secret mandate that hundreds of millions of 3rd world workers move the USA to take away our jobs and our birthright.

It’s so hard to believe that obama would use the power to negotiate a secret trade deal to advance his radical anti-American communist agenda. /sarc

Right. I can’t believe Senators trust Obama so much that they voted to give him all this power. What are they thinking? Obama wants this “trade” deal so he can destroy the USA with it

One would think they all know what’s in it. It isn’t certain who has read some of it, none of it, or all of it. I would like to know what it says. Under Obama, it matters that we know.

Under someone else, it is traditionally typical to keep it secret for the chess game it really is, until it’s signed. But under Obama, who could sleep at night agreeing to it blind?

You can call all you want, they are going to vote for this and it is going to pass! Who do you think they are going to listen to, the peasants who go to the ballot box and vote to make themselves feel better or the ones who bought and paid for them? They belong to the globalists. They will do as they are told.

Cruz is appearing to be a “free trader,” like Reagan.

We can tweet . what if all 300,000 freepers tweeted these traitors at least to call them out? what if 1 person like me did it ? I will. you bet i’m going to call them out for giving obama dictatorial power . What happened to freedom, government of the people and America? It is precisely because of freedom that America became the greatest civilization , now to be controlled by a marxist who will ruin it partly by importing foreign workers who will take away our jobs,opportunities and go on welfare and obamacare.

we can tweet at least to embarrass these fools, these traitors
