The TransPacific Partnership is being negotiated in secret among a few countries that are most heavily influenced by corporate lobbyists. Lobbyists who sign a non-disclosure agreements get seats at the negotiating table, but members of Congress, the press, and normal humans are kept in the dark. Congress is being asked to "fast track" the process, short-circuiting the open and transparent democratic process in favor of one in which corporations influence the fine print on a document that gets and up or down vote once it finally disclosed and too late to change anything. The only reason for secrecy is fear that an informed democratic society would reject it. That's why we, the people, must know, and we must know now. Humans are not an inferior race to corporations.
