If the Trans Pacific Partnership is passed, any hope that we have to influence our government is officially lost

If the Trans Pacific Partnership is passed, any hope that we have to influence our government is officially lost (and we already have almost no influence). Don't let fear-mongers convince you that the government can take away your inalienable rights. They can't, and that is a smoke-screen... The TPP is more or less the last move in the corporate takeover of our government. And while we're busy arguing with each other into voting or not voting for one oligarch or the other, our government's ability to serve the people in any way shape or form is being taken away. Both Democrats and Republicans will allow the TPP to pass.

So if you are really concerned with civil rights, the environment, being able to own guns, being able to earn a living wage, etc... This is the fight we need to win first. It's not about left vs right or black vs white or gay vs straight or gun vs unarmed or bigot vs non-bigot. It's about people vs corporations.
