Folks, this doesn't sound good! We need to step up to the plate or the progress for the environment and the animals will go down the drain with one stroke of the pen! Call your your political reps. and tell them not to stand for it!
Thank you again for taking action to stop the TPP. With your help, we have already sent more than 134,000 emails to Congress members. But we can't stop there.
Our members of Congress are weighing their options as we speak, and the opposition is lobbying HARD. The TPP would give corporations even more power over us by letting them sue the U.S. government over any law that threatens the corporation's profits. Some of the things we care about most — like sourcing local food for schools, banning fracking in our communities and labeling genetically engineered foods — are at the top of the corporate hit list.
This is an issue that impacts everybody, but it can be tough to explain why to your friends and family. The video below explains what the TPP is and why it is so bad. It's the perfect primer for anyone that is new to the issue.
Today, a bill to fast track the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) was introduced in Congress. The deal, which is being negotiated with over 600 corporations behind closed doors, is a threat to clean air, clean water, safe food and our democracy.
They are blaming it on ice, lol! Yeah, right! You pull oil out of the ground via fracking, and the plates can't move smoothly. They rub up against each other, that's what I think.
