Just fired a version of this to each of my representatives
I am asking you to please oppose the Trans Pacific Partnership Trade agreement. Oppose it with every ounce of political clot you have. The vast majority of the citizens of the State and Country trust this agreement as far as any one of us could lob a 72 passenger school bus.
It was crafted in secret, by the persons (real and legally created) who stand to benefit the most from it, had normal legislative safety protocols/review periods bypassed by those same deeply invested interests, and will be very difficult to get out of later.
The rumored contents are troublesome to say the least. And the lack of a period of public review is far more troublesome.
If this is as wonderful as some think, share it with all of us and let us judge before we commit to it.
I look at it this way; I wouldn't buy a house sight unseen from a realtor who is also in the construction business who I had no legal recourse against. I have to see it before I'll accept it.
I am submitting this request to both of my Senators as well. I have a great deal of faith in one of them, but I worry the junior senator might vote along party lines. So I urge you to communicate with the other elected officials from Wisconsin at the national level. Band together and present a united front in opposition to this secretive binding agreement.
Thanking you in advance
