I urge everyone to email Obama that this lack of transparency is unacceptable. Everyone of these lousy trade agreements have resulted in loss of American jobs. NAFTA alone cost us around 700,000 jobs. The unions have come out against both of these so-called Pacts.

Obama talks about saving the Middle Class and creating jobs while secretly engaging in negotiations that will put us at a distinct disadvantage to countries that pay peon wages, have no safety rules, and where workers work 60-80 hours a week for starvation wages. This is just another rip off by the corporations to out-source jobs. The rush to the bottom will only result in American citizens enjoying the same standard of living that the workers in other countries suffer.
