Don't Revive Title II Of H.R.1314

The President says, "Trust us," but everything about TPP/TPA/TAA is cloaked in mystery and secrets. We trusted Clinton with NAFTA, and watched what he did to our economy and American workers. Once bitten, twice shy. Please don't support TPP.

DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT TRYING TO REVIVE TITLE II OF H.R.1314. Don't think we don't know about how much money those engineering this deceptive act of treason have been paid off by corporate lobbyists for this con.

You have already voted. No do over, if it was not good enough to vote in the first time why try again.

NO TO GLOBAL CORPORATE TYRANNY!

ABSOLUTELY NOT! Can you spell the word, Traitor? Has it become necessary to remove and impeach those in office who sell themselves and America? To vote in favor of foreign and corporate interests setting our laws and attempting to subjugate the American people is a NULL and VOID, illegal action that will not stand.

Seriously!! US Citizens can't compete with a labor force that makes $0.57 per hour!! With TPP we ostensibly will have even fewer protections - the details of which we can't even know because it's all been fashioned in a back room directed by big money interests. Really?? Who is our government representing? The few, the proud, the obscenely wealthy! NO TPP.

What kind of dishonest procedural runaround is the House of Representatives up to? You rejected Title II of the Fast Track bill (H.R.1314), and then went right ahead and passed the rest of the bill minutes later.
And now we hear they are going to try to sneak Title II through again in a couple more days, to perfect the betrayal of the American people. Don't think we don't know about how much money those engineering this deceptive act of treason have been paid off by corporate lobbyists for this con.
H.R.1314 is loaded with worthless window dressing, none of which is actually binding at all. 37 Pages of so-called "negotiating objectives," Section 102, don't mean a thing. All that matters is that this relies solely on the president, whoever he or she is, making the unilateral determination about any of this. Section 103, p. 38.

Congress has already shamefully surrendered the power to amend anything themselves or to stop even the most outrageous deal by filibuster. Section 106(b)(2)(A), p. 92, 106(b)(3)(D), p. 95. And by its construction we only get to read the actual deal AFTER Congress has abdicated any meaningful power to stop it.

Don't even think about trying to revive Title II of H.R.1314, or no amount of corporate campaign contributions will save you in your next primary election

If the TPP is about getting ahead of China in the contest for economic clout in Asia, giving it to the multinational corporations is the worst way to go about it. They have a long record of oppressive practices in Third World developing countries. The fact that the party (GOP) that has consistently protected the interest of the 1% is pushing the bill should make it suspect. That, plus the secrecy surrounding the documments, is tantamount to a betrayal of the principles of transparency and equitable economy that Pres. Obama is committed to uphold.

I am so upset that our President would be on the side of the Right wing on this issue! It needs to be stopped and examined before rushing it through. Thank-you

This is simply intolerable. Not only the secrecy of exactly what is included in the TPP (and the small tidbits that have been leaked are SCARY), but now to give any single president the power to bind this entire nation into a trade agreement that will impact ALL citizens is UNAMERICAN.

This administration is saying, "Trust us," but everything about TPP/TPA/TAA is cloaked in ultra-secretiveness. We "trusted" them with NAFTA, and see what that did to the national economy and the American workers. No transparency? Then no support for TPP.

No TPP! No fast track! No subtrefuge! No more exploitation of the people by business and government!

Don:t Revive Title II Of H.R. 1314.

I dont believe this trade agreement is in my best interest. In any case you should never consider any agreement that is not totally open for everyone to weigh in on.

Obama, what is the force behind your support of this bill? BIG Multinational Corporations and 1%'rs, Wall Street?? Shame on you and anyone else who votes for this. the media in every article does nothing to explain any details of this bill which is disasterous to workers and results in corporate power grab superceding even , laws of soveriegn nations.

The only thing I have to add is: How COULD you?? You were elected to look out for my interests, not lobbyists.

No fast-tracking of any secret trade deal.

TPP constitutes the treasonous undermining of our sovereign nation and provides the sponsoring international corporations the power to stop any laws that interfere with profits. Under this horrendous pact, worker's rights, environmental and farming/food production protections would succumb to amoral corporate greed!

This legislation will result in the undoing of life as we've known it. You will be held accountable by the electorate and history for selling your soul and eliminating the possibility of a viable planet going forward.

This is a pivotal moment. Will you act as a shill for the corporatists or will you behave like a caring accountable human being with an investment in the future.

In case you have difficulty with the ethics of your choice here, just imagine explaining it to the Pope.

Congress is responsible to the people. We the people are against this, ergo... don't pass it.

WHO is pushing for this??? Not President Obama! Why is the House pushing this ON HIM? Oh, yeah... to get their way and be able to blame him, right?

Congressman Bera, You voted FOR Fast Track Authority. This is a betrayal of your constituents! Why should we ever vote for YOU again?

**********

[173428:061815] J.S., Canton, GA
Please do not vote to give ANY more power to the President. I want you to READ ALL treaties before voting. Otherwise you are voting in the dark. I want my representing to be enlightened on all votes.
