Will you fight the Fast Track of the TPP and TSA? Will DU?

145. You made my point for me.

Thanks for that.

Don't assume what I have read, can decipher or what my background is.

I have not seen anyone claim to be an expert. What I have seen are leaked documents that no one has stated are incorrect, that have pretty detailed verbiage, that cannot possibly be analyzed completely, especially considering the chapters and pages we have not yet seen and have to be taken as a whole, in 60 or 90 days. A statement which you obviously agree.

That said, I can use common sense. I can read both the leaked documents and the analysis of them.

I also know that the secrecy in "the most transparent administration" is both telling and frightening. When 600 corporations not only see everything but have the right to comment on proposals, when union leaders and citizens don't, when only Congress persons with security clearance can view it but not take notes or share the contents with anyone under threat of prosecution, that's a problem. It's a huge problem.

Additionally, we already know how trade agreements have worked out for the average American in the past. We have no reason whatsoever to trust this will be good. None.

Of course it's not done. No one has said it is. But we have no opportunity to change anything that is bad with the fast track. The purpose of the fast track is to give permission for it to be finalized. Why would we do that without knowing what's in it? Because we trust corporate America? Because we trust the Republicans that have worked against us for decades? Sorry, President Obama is not trust worthy in this IMHO. Especially after his snide comments about Elizabeth Warren

Every single elected official that I respect that has read the documents is against this.

It absolutely amazes me that anyone would want something that will have such a deep and long impact on our country, would want to fast track these agreements. It's contrary to everything we should want as citizens of this nation.

600 corporations have a say and we can't even see it. That should worry everyone

I am happy to discuss this but I won't respond to more bs like, "You are simply relying on a bunch of people on a website to tell you what to think about something THEY know nothing about either."
