Petition: Don't Let the 0.1% Fast Track a Corporate Coup

Please sign, even if you don't know what TPP is really about because the details are being worked out in secrecy.

The Obama administration has indicated that a requirement for the conclusion of TPP negotiations is the renewal of "Fast Track" Trade Promotion Authority. Fast Track requires legislators to simply vote "yes" or "no" on hundreds upon hundreds of pages of binding text. Legislators are denied their constitutional authority to amend the terms of the agreement, shielding the terms of the agreement from public inspection.
