CALL YOUR STATE REPRESENTATIVE today to urge them to vote YES on House Resolution 932. This resolution would have the State House on record opposing TPP!
WHY FIGHT TPP?
The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is presented as a “free- trade” agreement to ensure the U.S. remains competitive in the global market. In reality it has much less to do with trade and much more to do with corporate supremacy.
The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is an international trade deal that would further corporate interests over the interests of the people. If passed by Congress, TPP would mean a world dominated by profit and greed.
Tell your legislator that you oppose the TPP because:
- Under TPP, multi-national corporations will be able to sue local, state, and federal governments for loss of expected profits. For instance, under NAFTA, Canada was sued for Quebec’s moratorium on fracking under the St. Lawrence River.
- It will undermine environmental and safe food protections. TPP would wipe out American environmental protections. It also would wipe out food-safety laws, and flood U.S. markets with foreign seafood from countries with less stringent regulations.
Call your legislators today!
