Stop New Push to "Fast Track" the TPP Corporate Power Grab

Recently, Rep. Camp (R-MI) and Sen. Baucus (D-MT) introduced "Fast Track" legislation that would enable the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement to be signed by the White House without any public review or real congressional oversight.

The TPP is currently a twelve-nation trade pact, kept secret from the public, but privy to hundreds of corporate lobbyists, that will set rules governing an estimated 40% of the global economy.  Along with tariff levels and medicine patents, the TPP will also dictate policy regarding energy, environmental, safety, and financial regulations.
