(62,325 posts)get to write sweeping laws which they refuse to allow our Legislative Body to even have a peek at for YEARS. Not even the Congressional Committee that is charged with over-seeing Trade Agreements.
After years of protests not just in this Country, but in all of the other 12 countries involved in this 'secret agreement'. the project is slowed down.
So then, these Global Corps condescend to ALLOW our Representatives to take a tiny peek at a tiny part of what they are up to.
Now we know, thanks to Wikileaks, that they ARE up to no good, for the American people.
The tiny peek they ALLOWED our Congress to see, are carefully selected, only due to the pressure FROM THE PEOPLE and from LEGISLATORS from ALL 12 Nations.
When did our Congress lose the power invested in it to Represent the people who elected them, and who handed that power over to Foreign Corporations?
Congress does NOT have access to this secret abomination. They were ALLOWED to take a peek at carefully selected parts of it, thanks to the PEOPLE and LEGISLATORS who RIGHTFULLY are OUTRAGED at Foreign Corporations determining the future of the American People.
And they will continue to be outraged until our Congress is allowed to do its job.
You are perfectly free to 'bet on red' anytime you want to.
But not with our money, jobs, homes, economy, SOVEREIGNTY or our rights.
