    Stop the presses!!!

    The pro-union, anti-business, Socialist President Obama is for a bill that is supported by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and opposed by unions.

    This is the worst bill our President has supported. Great, another trade agreement to ship more jobs away from America. Surely corporations won’t do that though, right?

      I like having reasonable priced products whether they are made in Vietnam or here. It is a global economy and if the U.S. has too many regulations that are cost prohibitive for a competitive product, by all means, let’s have other countries do it. I don’t want my shirt going from $25 to $100 because we have a $15 minimum wage.

    There are too many terrible provisions that have been included in the leaked draft texts. Free trade has its benefits, but I don’t wnat to eat a cake laced with arsenic. Similarly, we should all refuse to accept a TPP which includes these terrible and dangerous intellectual property and investment chapters.

    Fast Track Authority strips the ability of the voters, via their elected representatives, to have any real say on the agreement which gets drafted.

    I urge each and every reader to write and call their representatives in opposition to the fast track bill. This is an important issue worth your time and attention.
