Great speech from Lori Wallach, Director and Founder of the Global Trade Watch at Auckland Town Hall two nights ago (in front of 900 people).
She analyzes why Obama is several dozen votes short of getting the TPPA ratified in the US House. Now that they have seen the text, both Democratic and Republican congressmen are coming out against TPPA – in large part because congress people who supported fast track on TPPA have virtually no chance of getting re-elected in November.
She calls the treaty a “5,000 page door stop” and describes the signing on February 4 in Auckland as a “psyche-out.”
Thanks for reblogging.

My pleasure Dr. B. It seems sovereignty of the individual, and collectively the state must be diligently defended. Thank god for the internet.
