so much for the great glorys of the internet . should have read the Unibombers Manifesto. he went about it the wrong way thru violence , but he was spot on about the ”tentacles ” .
the best bet with the TTP is for groups like ”Anonymous ” to combat them . Free trade has alwyas been a broght and shining lie . its all about fair trade.
what can we do ? elect officials who will reverse NAFTA and GATT.
I agree, rocket, but who would those officials be (that would reverse NAFTA and GATT) and, isn’t it just a little too late for places like the Rust Belt?
the rust belt maybe ….. but let us not forget that is the place where elections are decided –like OHIO …PENN … it is a matter of pushing this issue hard . the broad based coalition of Nader, Buchanan , Jesse Jackson , and Perot ..almost stopped NAFTA.
can it be reveresed ? probabaly not , but then again ….
i know freinds who work in factorys. that are losing jobs right and left. crazy !
Rocket, did you watch or listen to this video before commenting?
I suggest that you learn more about the TPP and TTIP.
Here are some good articles:

Sure, I will (its not like I havent) but who are those lawmakers you suggested we elect that oppose TPP (besides Warren, I dont know of any)
Factory jobs are coming back—theyre just non union, pay 1/3 what they used to and have no benefits…hell, “employers” (shit, like they deserve that name now) are cutting ppls. health care at age 65 or throwing them onto Medicare exchanges—sure I have even worse than that, but this is broken contracts…why do we allow broken contracts on one side only?
Gawd, I hope we can do something to stop this….it sounds like Hell
We need to contact our Congress members. The goal is to have this bill “fast tracked”, which means that it will be voted on without any debate!
Anyone paying attention to who Pres. Obama is visiting with lately? I’ve posted a couple here.
