Activists hang anti-Trans-Pacific Partnership banners on U.S. trade building in D.C.

[OhioChick]

Social Justice Activists hung Monday four huge anti-Trans-Pacific Partnership, (TPP), banners on the U.S. Office of Trade Representative building in Washington, D.C.

None of the activists were arrested, although Tighe Barry(above) was detained briefly during the demonstration, and then released.

“Resist the Trans-Pacific Partnership” says unless “Fast Track” is defeated, a finalized trade deal will more than likely “further entrench corporate power in every area of our lives [including the Internet]…[especially]with more than 600 corporate advisors on board — [as negotiators] including [representatives from] Monsanto, Halliburton, Walmart and Chevron.”

Speaking on camera are Kevin Zeese, Margaret Flowers, Natalie Yoon and Tighe Barry. To learn more about this important issue, go to: Resist the TPP — Stop Fast Track.

4. Awwright! And so it begins

Just like putting the kibosh on a new war in Syria, we can snuff this out too.

6. The only thing that's going to stop TPP is a revolution. - K&R n/t

7. I think the House will stop it dead on its tracks. Obama will never get "fast track"

through the House. Without that the TPP is dead meat.

9. It will put the Repukes in a quandary. I am sure their handlers want it but they hate

to give credit for fucking the Country to Obama.

10. They will split over it, like they do so many things.

Boehner and his buddies will support it and their tea party faction will oppose it.

It will be interesting to see how that works out. The tea party has dominated Boehner on the budget/Obamacare and immigration reform. We will see if that dominance continues.
