"The Trans-Pacific Partnership is a proposed new treaty, being negotiated behind closed doors between twelve countries of the Pacific rim, that will limit countries' freedom to make their own laws to protect consumers, Internet users, workers and the environment." "Congress is trying to make sure the public doesn’t have a voice in negotiations around the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). They’re trying to “Fast Track” the secret deal, threatening our Internet and our democracy. Fight back by joining the Internet Vote on April 23rd. Let's flood Washington, DC with calls and emails to make it clear how the Internet is voting: against censorship and against Fast Track".  See this link to the Representative Press blog  to Learn More:  http://representativepress.blogspot.com/2015/04/take-action.html

Everybody let's stop the TPP!
Everybody let's stop the TPP!
Until we know how bad this agreement will be
We're gonna have to stop the TPP
In an overseas private court, a multinational company
Can sue for billions through the TPP
Attacking our national laws, is not something that we want to see
So let's get that out of the TPP
Everybody let's stop the TPP!
Everybody let's stop the TPP!
Don't wanna sacrifice our national sovereignty
That's what will happen in the TPP
They say that it will bring new jobs, but where are those jobs gonna be?
No way of knowing from the TPP
We all want our country to grow, so long as it's sustainably
We might not get that from the TPP
Everybody let's stop the TPP!
Everybody let's stop the TPP!
Let's not gamble with our jobs and the economy
We're better off without the TPP
Everybody let's stop the TPP!
Everybody let's stop the TPP!
Until we know how bad this agreement will be
We're gonna have to stop the TPP

The TPP and TTIP, are two different trade agreements, both will have the same disastrous results.
 hidden within this
deal are plans to include rules to give investors
the right too sue governments.
many fear their inclusion presents a
grave threat to democracy, public funds and the development of public policy.

For investors and their lawyers law firms becoming more and more creative at the kinds of government decisions that their attacking fifteen years ago there were virtually
no awards and very few cases and now there are
several hundred. that's a very large number in the context of international law and international adjudications investors are suing on a whole range of
government policies american tobacco giant Philip Morris is
suing Uruguay for two billion US dollars over health warnings on cigarette packs

It could be that all these actions have a freezing effect on policy discretion that states to no longer want to run the risk of doing things that displease investors

Sometimes the mere threat of an investor state dispute can be enough to kill legislation just because the policy makers are afraid of being sued
So that shows that investor-state disputes actually also an enormous threat to our democracy. Both the united nations and the International Monetary Fund have warned that investor rights in trade agreements can severely curb the state's ability to respond in times of financial crisis.

when the country's in economic crisis it needs to adapt all kinds of measures to get out of the crisis and also to protect its people from the West.
