 Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP): Global Corporate Coup. \n\nDemo to protect 
 labor, public health, environment; vs. new international trade pact by 
 multinational corporations, being negotiated in secret by Office of 
 U.S.Trade Representative with other foreign governments. \n\nTPP lets 
 corporations create laws they could never get passed out in the open. Among 
 other things will empower corporations to attack our environmental and 
 health safeguards and free banksters from oversight. \n\n9/17-Constitution 
 Day-restore constitutional role of Congress to “regulate Commerce with 
 foreign Nations.” For more information:

 Agreement (TPP)?\nhttps://www.eff.org/issues/tpp\n\nThe Trans-Pacific 
 Partnership (TPP) is a secretive, multi-national trade agreement that 
 threatens to extend restrictive intellectual property (IP) laws across the 
 globe and rewrite international rules on its enforcement. The main problems 
 are two-fold:\n\n(1) IP chapter: Leaked draft texts of the agreement show 
 that the IP chapter would have extensive negative ramifications for 
 users’ freedom of speech, right to privacy and due process, and hinder 
 peoples' abilities to innovate.\n\n(2) Lack of transparency: The entire 
 process has shut out multi-stakeholder participation and is shrouded in 
 secrecy.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2013/09/13/18743209.php
