Even she, a member of the Senate, is not allowed to see the work in progress.

That is what is so shameful about Obama's carrying on with these negotiations. Why not ask the people whether we want this agreement which will override our laws and mean even fewer jobs and less industry in our country.

I oppose this agreement sight unseen because if the details are to horrible for me to see, I don't need to see it to know I don't want it.
