From: MOMS'S ACROSS AMERICA

Dear Moms and Supporters,
Did you know that if passed, the TPP Trans Pacific Partnership, could allow corporations to sue nations for barring the sale of their products? Do we really want a global corporatocracy where Monsanto can sue to push unlabeled GMOs through? Don't glaze over, I know this is very political, but it really is important.
This agreement is a threat to the entire structure of our society and economy and deserves a few minutes of everyone's time to find out about it, email your congress rep, meet and or write to your congress rep and share it with friends.
We must ask for 1) Stop the Fast Track which will allow our President to sign it into law without public disclosure. 2) Have TPP debated in Congress and allow the public to be privy to it's contents and STOP IT... http://www.momsacrossamerica.com/

-▶ TRANS PACIFIC PARTNERSHIP IS A TROJAN HORSE
The TPP is a Trojan horse, branded as a "free trade" agreement, but having nothing to do with fair and equitable treatment. In reality, it is precisely "a wish list of the 1% - a worldwide corporate power". [8] "Only 5 of its 29 chapters cover traditional trade matters, like tariffs or quotas." [9] "The other chapters enshrine new rights and privileges for major corporations while weakening the power of nation states to oppose them."

-▶ DOUBLING DOWN ON FAILED TRADE POLICY

The Trans Pacific Partnership lead by Pres. Obama,  is not only about lowering tariffs. It has the potential to greatly expand protections for investors over those for consumers and farmers, and severely restrict governments’ ability to use public policy to reshape food systems. The fundamental causes of recent protests across the globe over food prices, the rising market power of a handful of global food and agriculture corporations, as well as the dual specters of rising hunger and obesity around the world, point to the need to transform the world’s food systems, not to lock the current dysfunction situation in place... http://iatp.org/blog/201303/tpp-doubling-down-on-failed-trade-policy

At present, some 1.5 million hectares of land are primed for lease to foreign countries, and the Philippine government is set to open more agricultural lands to monopoly corporations of the United States, European Union, South Korea and Australia.
Lawmakers in the Philippines are pushing for amendments to the 1987 Constitution to allow 100 percent foreign ownership of land. This is reportedly a condition set on the Philippine government before being accepted to the Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA), a trade pact being organized by the US government.
