> It is so bad that even members of Congress are forbidden from telling
> us what they know about it. It is so bad that journalists are
> forbidden from conferences where it is being negotiated in secret,
> lest they tell the rest of us about what's it in, only wealthy
> lobbyists welcome.
>
> But what we do know from leaked documents is that they are plotting a
> massive corporate takeover of government trade policy, including
> gutting privacy rights, crippling internet freedom, unfettered
> worldwide exploitation of workers and unbridled environmental
> destruction, all in the name of maximization of private corporate
> profit, which is to say greed.
>
> And to bend over backwards to these horrors as much as possible,
> certain members of Congress are apparently about to introduce a bill
> to abdicate their constitutional authority to make trade policy, by
> delegating so-called "fast track" authority to some agency amenable
> to these same self-serving corporations.
>
> Under NO circumstances can Congress consent to dereliction of their
> responsibility to protect the trade interests of the American people.
>
> For the last four years Congress has refused to legislate at all
> except on a stop gap, last minute emergency basis. It's time for
> Congress to start governing again, by rejecting "fast track"
> irresponsibility over trade policy.
