In my previous post Obama’s Aversion to Income Inequality Doesn’t Extend to TPP<\/strong><\/a>, I suggested that we tell President Obama what we think of the TPP.<\/p>\n

At Whitehouse.gov I have created the following petition Remove everything from the TPP that promotes income inequality and promotes obscene advantages to multi-nationals<\/strong><\/a>. Click on the previous link or this one to sign the petition<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

President Obama is promoting The Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) as a trade agreement. It has little to do with fair trade, but it has a lot to do with giving huge powers to multi-national companies to overturn any of our laws and regulations that they do not like.<\/p>\n

If it weren’t for leaks from whistle-blowers we wouldn’t have any idea what the administration is insisting on putting into this agreement.<\/p>\n

If President Obama didn’t already know the American public is dead set against these proposals, he wouldn’t be putting so much effort into keeping it secret.<\/p>\n

This may be the last straw for many supporters of President Obama.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If we can just get 100,000 signatures by March 2, 2014 on this petition, he might listen.\u00a0 To get those signatures, I will need your help to get the word out.<\/p>\n
