Just a couple of the non direct quote leaks.

And since it's being negotiated in secret, we won't know the facts. Even the Senate is unlikely to know the facts, that's why its being fast-tracked....

So your basing your opposition to TPP on information from legislators that you acknowledge are short on facts?

Come on, mannn ... you're not trying very hard!
