Rethink the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) Treaty

Change.org has my petition Rethink the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) Treaty. Please sign the petition.

The leaked information about the current draft indicates that it will worsen income inequality.  This treaty will also allow corporations to sue to overturn laws and regulations protecting the people’s health and the envrionment.  It will also raise the cost of drugs.  Surely these kinds of things do not belong in a trade bill.


If you don’t want to sign my petition, there are many more TPP petitions on Change.org. Just search for them.
