Urgent: Oppose "fast track" for TPP

samedi 4 avril 2015 à 14:00

US citizens: Phone Senator Wyden and call on him to oppose "fast track" for the TPP. (202) 224-5244 and (503) 326-7525.

A new leak on Wikileaks shows that the TPP would give 9,000 foreign companies special rights in the US, beyond those of any US citizen (or US company).

Here's an example of this danger, found in the TPP and in the similar proposed TTIP agreement. NAFTA has already imposed a similar injustice on US, Mexico and Canada. Canada will have to pay 300 million dollars in compensation for blocking a quarry whose pollution would have harmed endangered species.
