Via a Text Message Request from the National AFL-CIO 10 Hours Before President Obama's State of the Union Speech on Tuesday Night, My Response was: "Say NO to Fast Track of the TPP." But - Of Course, there are Many Accessible Professionally Researched and Documented Studies Regarding These So -Called 'Free/Fair Trade Agreements.' One at Hand for Access is the Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch of January 2014, Entitled NAFTA at 20. With 24 Pages of 'Myth vs. Fact' and Eight More Pages of Highlighted Endnotes, the Conclusion is: ONE MILLION U.S. JOBS LOST, MASS DISPLACEMENT and INSTABILITY in MEXICO, RECORD INCOME INEQUALITY, SCORES of CORPORATE ATTACKS ON ENVIRONMENTAL AND HEALTH LAWS (Visit www.tradewatch.org)

Noam Chomsky, a Political Theorist and Linguist Stated on January 13th, 2014: "The Trans-Pacific Partnership Will Lower Wages and Increase Insecurity" - and Further States "TPP as Little to Do With Free Trade."

The TPP is About Limiting Regulation, Helping Corporate Interests and Imposes Fiercer Standards of Intellectual Property (to Again, Largely Benefit Corporate Interests).

As Further Noted, the TPP Discussion Has Been Kept Very Secret. A Half Secret in that It's NOT SECRET from the Hundreds of Corporate Lawyers and Lobbyists WHO ARE WRITING THE LEGISLATION. It's Been kept Secret from the General Population.

And, Dr. Matthew Rimmer, an ARC Future Fellow, Associate Professor and Intellectual Property Law Expert Sees the TPP as a "Christmas Wish-List for Corporations."

Like NAFTA, the One-Million Worker Jobs Loss and the 60,000 Manufacturing Plant Closings since 1993, the TPP is NOT GOOD FOR WORKERS - BUT IS GOOD FOR CORPORATIONS!
