Wyden and TPP

[cascadiance]

8. Now is the time to lobby our congressional reps to vote NO!

I'm looking to attend our monthly county PCP meeting tomorrow night to try and gin up support to get Suzanne Bonamici to vote no on this. I'm sure that she's under a lot of pressure by Nike to vote yes here, since that is where Obama actually was given a platform to speak on TPP a week ago or so here.

Perhaps we can lobby others like Blumenauer, etc. too that we can twist their arms in the same way.

Those in southern Oregon should be reminded that GMO regulations passed in counties like Jackson and Josephine counties will probably get thrown out by the ISDS courts or have their counties sued for tons of money by the likes of Monsanto, if Fast Track and TPP are allowed to pass. I'm sure there are other local issues in different parts of the state where local residents of even Republican districts like Walden's won't like the TPP if it is passed when it loses our governments' sovereignty. I'm sure there are a number of local laws that even Republicans won't like it if they feel they might have them thrown out by corporate powers. Many tea party congress reps are voting no on this too.
