US Chamber of Commerce and the TPP [View all]

[neverforget]

Valentine’s Love Letter to the TPP

Dearest Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement,

I can't stop thinking about how great we'd be together. Dreaming of all of those exports passing through our borders keeps me up late at night. The possibilities are endless and it's hard to keep me from dreaming about our future.

Comprising 40% of the world's economy, I'd be a fool not to cross the Pacific for you. I'd go to twelve countries and span all three continents just to dance with you. But as we all know, love is a matter of quality, not quantity. Our love is meaningful and can satisfy our biological needs--especially if you guarantee to protect regulatory data for 12 years. You know, dear TPP, that I will drop to one knee and say "I do" for gold--no, diamond--standards for intellectual property. My creative and innovative talents need your protection. Without trade agreements like you, it would be a long, hard journey to jumpstart our economies.

And don't worry - I love your trade promotion authority as if she were my own family. I'm ready to adopt her today if that would fast-track me to your heart. I can't wait to call you my own and make sweet sweet economic progress with you.

Please be mine. I will be yours.

Love,
The American Business Community

The US Chamber of Commerce is the enemy of every worker in this country. They have been trying to destroy unions since their inception. They fund the anti-union Workforce Freedom Initiative. Take a look at that website. How anyone thinks that the TPP is going to be good for American workers is beyond me with supporters such as the US Chamber, Orin Hatch, Paul Ryan, Rand Paul, John Boehner, etc.

This guy is not looking out for you:
