Tomorrow! Be there! The Trans-Pacific Partnership (#TPP), a global trade agreement being secretly negotiated by 600 multinational corporations and industry trade groups, will affect nearly every aspect of Americans’ lives. If passed, it will undermine state, local and federal laws, including those governing food safety, environmental protection, internet freedom, worker rights, democratic sovereignty, healthcare and drug prices, and banking and finance regulation. In short, it will be a disaster for public health and safety, future sustainability of the world’s food supply and basic democratic principles. When asked why it was being negotiated in secret, Ron Kirk, the former US trade negotiator said, Because if the people knew what was in it, it would never be passed. It’s bad enough that Congress and the public have been shut out of these negotiations, while corporations are running the show. But even worse, the Obama Administration wants to ram the TPP through Congress using a Nixon-era process called Fast Track. On November 25th, Barack Obama will be in Beverly Hills for a high dollar fundraiser for the Democratic Senatorial and Congressional Campaign Committees at the Beverly Park homes of former basketball star Magic Johnson and billionaire media mogul Haim Saban. Tickets start at $2500 a person for the reception and $16,200 a person for the dinner. Lets be there to greet Obama and tell him to stop the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the new trade agreement being negotiated totally in secret. SCHEDULE 3:30 pm: Rally with the following speakers Lance Simmens, Citizens Trade Campaign Ernest Pacheco, Communications Workers of America Maira Sutton, Electronic Frontier Foundation Zack Kaldveer, Organic Consumers Association Maureen Cruise, RN, Health Care for All Alexandra Nagy, Food and Water Watch Marianne Williamson, Author 4:00 pm: 1/2 mile March to corner of street where fundraiser will be held.
