Reject TPP

Sessions Warns Against Ramming Through Unpopular Trans-Pacific Partnership

"The American people are uneasy about [the TPP]. They're not for this. Support for it is sinking. Elections are turning on it, and it does not need to become law...

"I don't like this. I don't think it's the right thing to do. I think it's arrogant. What the President is fundamentally saying, and what a lot of these special interest groups are saying, is 'well, we know you in Congress are so smart and we know the President is smart. The people out here, they don't understand how smart we all are, and we just need to get this done, and so we'll have this trade agreement. But we understand you probably shouldn't do it right now while elections are going on because you might get your clock cleaned. They might vote you out of office. So we'll see if we can't work up a way to pass it sometime in the future.'

"Who's right here? The American people who are worried about their jobs, their wages, their incomes, or the experts who promise all these grand things if we would just sign these agreements and [say] everybody's going to be better off for it?"

Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL)

Comments

This is the trade agreement that remains a secret from the American people.  A few Senators were allowed to read this agreement and they say it’s a very bad subversive deal. It nullifies US law and destroys US sovereignty.
