Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsWhat is the comment site for the TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership) at regulations.gov? I can't find it
Does anyone know the comment site for this terrible agreement?
The government comment's page ends tomorrow and I sure as hell would like to submit a comment (hint -- I'm against it).
Thanks!

Comment:
I urge you to kill Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement.
As you know, the only ones at the table when this was being considered were corporations, even though Obama had promised earlier that the labor unions and other public entities would be present.
This agreement would PUNISH any community for "doing the right thing", such as reducing cigarette use, if reducing cigarette usage reduced profits for corporations. This is incredibly awful, as you know. We do not pay taxes, or vote, or run our government so there can be a stealth take-over by corporations and the rich though the Trans-Pacific Agreement..
Among other terrible parts of this agreement is that there is no set-aside for global warming actions. That is, if communities want to curtail global warming activities, then corporate entities can sue and huge fines will accrue, these determined by the so-called "judges" of the boards of the TPP who otherwise are legal persons working for the corporate.
This is an absolute race to the bottom (with lowest wages winning out above community interests, our future, etc.)!!!
Stop this abhorrent agreement now!
