No Back Room Deals for the 1%

The vast majority of Americans have been barred by the U.S. Trade Representative from reviewing its proposals for the massive new Trans-Pacific Free Trade Agreement.  Meanwhile, approximately 600 corporate lobbyists have regular access to the negotiating texts as so-called "cleared advisors."  Please help put an end to this type of back room dealmaking by demanding that negotiators release the texts.

Dear U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk:

Americans deserve the right to know what U.S. trade negotiators are proposing in our name.

The Trans-Pacific Free Trade Agreement is likely to impact jobs, wages, agriculture, migration, the environment, access to medicine, consumer safety, banking regulations, indigenous rights, Internet freedom, government procurement and more. A pact this far-reaching should be negotiated in the most transparent and participatory manner possible.

Please publicly release all Trans-Pacific Free Trade Agreement proposals now.

Sincerely,
Optional Member Code
