Today just might
be the day that puts the final nail in the American way of life. It
has become clear our legislators are working hard to go against the
American people and the American way of doing things. By our
legislators voting to let #fast-track be the way trade
agreements are done, they are voting to give up any say on how, with
who and when they are done. This means we the people will also have
no say for the next six years, jobs can be taken away and we will
sink deeper into being a third world country. All this talk about
how they want to help the American worker is just that talk, they are
worried about upsetting the billionaires who provide them with their
three bags of gold. Any amendments or bills that concern the
American worker should be voted on separate of any fast-track
measures, enough with the games, maneuvering and hidden agenda's, If
they are truly concerned about the American worker they would be
putting out a pure bill on just the one main issue – should
#fast-track be allowed or not – will Americans be allowed jobs at a
decent wage or not.
“This nation has never seen an
agreement that compares to the TPP, which forms a new Pacific Union.
This is far more than a trade agreement, but creates a self-governing
and self-perpetuating Commission with extraordinary implications for
American workers and American sovereignty.”
“It is essential that there be no
misunderstanding: fast-track preapproves the formation of not only
the unprecedentedly large Trans-Pacific Partnership, but an unlimited
number of such agreements over the next six years. Those pacts
include three of the most ambitious ever contemplated. After TPP
comes the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP)
between the United States and the European Union, followed by the
Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA), seeking as one its goals labor
mobility among more than 50 nations. Together, these three
international compacts encompass three-fourths of the world’s GDP.
Including the nations whose membership is being courted for after
enactment, the countries involved would encompass nearly 90 percent
of global GDP. Yet, through fast-track, Congress will have
authorized the President to ink these deals before a page of them has
been made public. Then, the Executive sends Congress “implementing”
legislation to change U.S. law—legislation which cannot be amended,
cannot be filibustered, and will not be subjected to the
Constitutional requirement for a two-thirds treaty vote.”
