Dear Mary,
As a candidate, Obama promised to
renegotiate NAFTA, the trade deal that has undermined workers and the
environment.
As president, Obama has pushed through corporate trade
agreements that build on the NAFTA model — including with South Korea, Colombia
and Panama.
Stop him before he does worse.
Now leaks of
negotiations with eight Pacific countries reveal Obama’s intention to out-NAFTA
NAFTA.
The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) deal has been negotiated in
secret (except for 600 corporate advisors). The TPP would:
- reward outsourcing of jobs to lower-wage countries;
- give foreign corporations immunity from U.S. laws;
- allow foreign corporations to challenge U.S. laws in foreign (secret)
tribunals; and
- wipe out national protections for workers or the environment.
U.S. negotiators are pushing these worse-than-NAFTA measures on the Pacific
countries.
Take a minute to tell President Obama (and Congress) that we
won’t stand for it.
AND please forward this email widely to
like-minded friends.
