I wish you'd post it out in "GD" because so many still don't understand what's at stake and Tim puts much in "Plain Speak."
Those of us who've been aware of TPP for years don't seem to be able to do a good job of explaining why its opposed. N

No matter how many times many of us have posted "Public Citizen's" updates on TPP with videos of Lori Wallach and other articles explaining opposition from Enviro Groups & Labor many still just don't what could be wrong with it. The fact that they don't get it shows how complicated it is that it just goes over everyone's head. And, that alone should cause it's failure. We won't know what's in it until FTA is passed and even then we will need Lawyers to explain the language. Anything that complicated, having to be done in secret and now pushed through with a President having "Fast Track Authority" just doesn't pass the smell test.
