Say "no" to the TPP

Bob Burnett, who has a strong technical background, summarizes some of the problems with the Trans Pacific Partnership:

1. U.S. trade negotiators want TPP to get special, "fast-track" treatment from Congress.
2. TPP doesn't include China.
3. Free-trade agreements, such as TPP, haven't protected U.S. jobs.
4. If TPP were to be approved, most of the benefit would go to corporations and the rich.
5. There are a wide variety of serious issues that need to be discussed by Congress and the American public.
