DESCRIPTION:RALLY:\n\nThe President will be delivering his State of the Union Address  
 the day of this rally, on Jan. 12th, in the evening.  He will use that 
 opportunity to promote TPP. \n\nJoin with other senior and disability 
 organizations, labor unions, and environmental activists to let the 
 President know that Californians opposes the TPP. Let Congresswoman Pelosi 
 and the media hear us too!. \n\nEvents like this will be happening around 
 the country on this day –prior to the President’s speech. Stand up and 
 be counted.\n\nIf you can’t attend the rally on the Jan. 12th – please 
 be sure to call Senator Feinstein and your congressperson. The number at 
 the Capitol Switchboard to call is: 877-762-8762\nTell our representatives 
 to STOP THE TRANS PACIFIC PARTNERSHIP (TPP)!  And say why:\n\nIf passed, 
 the TPP would:\n\n*undermine our national, state, and local laws;\n\n*make 
 it easier for big corporations to ship our jobs overseas, pushing down our 
 wages and increasing income inequality;\n\n*flood our country with unsafe 
 imported food;\n\n*jack up the cost of medicines by giving big 
 pharmaceutical corporations new monopoly rights to keep lower cost generic 
 drugs off the market;\n\n*empower corporations to attack our environmental 
 and health safeguards;\n\n*ban Buy American policies needed to create green 
 jobs,\nroll back Wall Street reforms;\n\n*sneak in SOPA-like threats to 
 Internet freedom,\nand undermine human rights.\n\nThe TPP can take effect 
 only if the U.S. Congress approves it, and its fate in Congress is 
 uncertain at best. Fast Tracktrade authority only passed through Congress 
 by the narrowest of margins after a series of legislative maneuvers, with 
 reluctant support from some key swing members contingent upon certain 
 provisions being in the final TPP. The released text shows these concerns 
 have been largely ignored.\n\nAnd an unprecedented array of organizations 
 have joined together in a powerful and diverse coalition to stop the TPP.  
 Groups united on this extend well beyond labor unions and include consumer, 
 Internet freedom, senior, health, food safety, environmental, human rights, 
 faith, LGBTQ, student and civil rights organizations.\n\nOpposition to the 
 TPP is growing at home and in many of the other countries involved.\n \nFor
