Red flags about TPP
Once upon a time, Americans fought a war to gain independence, and our citizens to this day celebrate that event. Then along comes the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) with its reams of regulations, stipulations and manipulations.
When an agreement is negotiated in secret, and can be changed after signing, there must be a reason. Only a fool would ignore such red flags. The TPP would essentially hand over the sovereignty of our own commerce and industry to outside parties.
This is no small thing. We are talking about the lifeblood of our economy. We can honor those who sacrificed for the freedom of this country by doing our part to protect U.S. sovereignty. Call or email your representative today to reject the TPP.
