glad to hear about open local opposition! Bookmarked.

Mostly I'm disturbed by the lack of public awareness. I'm old enough to remember the media debate over NAFTA and it went on publicly for years. All the major networks covered the issue in depth.

Now we're just months from finalization of this deal and nobody seems to know about it. I mean nobody.

Unless opposition can be built from the bottom up we're in trouble.

I thought it was just environmental and health and labor standards -- all the usual targets. But accounting standards are the very foundation of a modern economy. They're like a chain of custody for legal evidence. They prove that everything is on the up-and-up because they enable an outside auditor to retrace the steps of whoever did the bookkeeping in the first place. If those are degraded, nothing else can stand.

Somewhere in secret negotiations with lobbyists at the table sounds like an excellent place. The TPP is an end-run around banking re-regulation as well.

Do you support the TPP? Are you out of your fucking mind?
