“Haven’t we learned anything from NAFTA? The Trans-Pacific Partnership is NAFTA on steroids. It would allow giant global corporations to override American health, safety, labor, and environmental regulations; ship more American jobs abroad; and push American wages downward. Tell your congressional representatives it’s a bad deal for Americans.”

Top-secret international TPP talks

to take place March 9-15 at

Waikoloa Beach Marriott

What is TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership)?

TPP has been described as NAFTA (North American Free-trade Agreement) on steroids!

It is a totally non-transparent meeting of the world’s “1%” to negotiate a mega-treaty that would give ultimate power to corporations like Wal-Mart, Monsanto, Goldman-Sachs, Pfizer, Halliburton, Philip Morris, GE, GM, Apple, etc.
