Hey USFT,
WOW people power really is amazing. This week, some huge developments have given us the boost we need to take down the TPP and its profit-driven agenda once and for all.
1) WikiLeaks published the Intellectual Property chapter of the TPP on Wednesday! Read it here: https://wikileaks.org/tpp/ and if you want an analysis, check this out: http://www.citizen.org/Wikileaks-publishes-TPP-IP-Chapter Spread the word to all your friends! All those that hate SOPA, love WikiLeaks, care about access to medicines, etc. this is a HUGE leverage point to make the TPP issue sexier and spread the word.
2) 174 House Representatives have committed to vote no on Fast Track. With such huge bipartisan opposition, it's going to be very difficult to get the TPP through anytime soon. It looks like they won't try to introduce the fast track bill this year. Check out the amazing New York Times article about it here: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/13/business/international/house-stalls-trade-pact-momentum.html?_r=0
Still undecided about the TPP/fast track or know anyone that's note sure about it? Check out this debate to hear both sides: http://www.democracynow.org/2013/11/14/tpp_exposed_wikileaks_publishes_secret_trade
Want to get more involved with this fight? Join the Topple the TPP conference call this Sunday at 9pm EST. Email me for the phone number and access code!
Our work isn't done yet, but we're definitely winning. Celebrate the power of people, and have a great weekend!
In Solidarity,
