Apparently, when I called my state Rep. to complain about this traitorous trade plan my phone number got logged into a system. Two nights ago the phone rang and the Rep. asked me to participate in a “town hall” meeting by phone (conference call). I stayed on the line. I didn’t know how to pose a question, but luckily, someone who did brought up the TPP and Fast Track. Although this rep. is a proud Conservative/Republican I was surprised to hear him say that he’s against this trade pact. He even said, “Look what NAFTA did to U.S. jobs.”
Needless to say, there were other things I did not agree with; however, if Ted Yoho stays true to what he said, then he would vote against TPP. He also viewed it as “Obama’s trade pact.” As is plain to see, Bush’s War became Obama’s war, and Bush’s bank bailout became a continuous policy. Needless to say, the same will hold for this plutocratic chokehold on nations’ rights. Oh, and Mr. Yoho understood THAT, too! He said something about the sovereignty of nations and their laws being compromised by these sorts of trade agreements. Again, I was pretty surprised to hear that from him.
