The Toilet Paper Ponzi-scheme is back in the news thanks to Wikileaks. The pdf's below are from the Salt Lake city meeting held at the end of November 2013:

TPP Salt Lake Positions

These documents show that the United States is pushing for extreme internet and copyright regulations.  If the corporate masters of our government had their way, even I could loose access to the internet or be fined or jailed by publishing documentation like the ones above.

Journalists everywhere need to countermand these intrusive infringements of individual rights of public domain and the press. The United States government wants to subvert our Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances - See more at: http://constitution.findlaw.com/amendment1/amendment.html#sthash.OUFuoqbs.dpuf

"The security of the freedom of the press requires that it should be exempt, not only from previous restraint of the executive, as in Great Britain; but from legislative restraint also; and this exemption, not only from the previous inspection of licensers, but from the subsequent penalty of laws." James Madison was concerned that authors would be deterred from writing articles that assailed government activity if the government were permitted to prosecute them following release of their works to the public.

So much for the First Amendment if Congress passes the TPP. It's not like Congress isn't trying to license journalistic entities anyway, contrary to the beliefs of James Madison.

All you have to do is look at corporate media and the blockade against Wikileaks to know that the United States federal government is not being run by the People anymore.

When is a trade agreement full of excrement? When it sells out American interests, the Constitution and Bill of Rights, American workers, all for the sake of secrecy, special interest power grab, and corporate profits. 

What's worse? Our Congressional Leaders are NOT allowed to see it. That's right and President Barack Obama wants to Fast-Track the agreement before the first of the year. Those people who have seen the leaked parts of the TPP characterize it as:

Watch this video for a breakdown at Democracy Now! 

Talk about a grab bag of corporate private rules being enforced as public law. That means foreign companies and governments can sue our government for having quality standards written into legislation as well as an intellectual property gestapo that stifles any new business or creative venture: written or artistic.

Not only would thought police make a splash more and more into our culture, but medicines would have a longer gestation before generics could become available. You can see insurance premiums grow higher as food safety rules are relaxed for foreign markets to raid your grocery shelves.

With the Trans Pacific Partnership, nothing is safe.

There go your jobs.
There goes the environment protections.
No more Buy American advertisements.
Another mega bank/corporate free for all.

Haven't the American People had enough of a me, me, me political, corporate, and bank monopoly of your lives?

Want action? YOU are the action you seek. Call, write, visit... your Congressional representatives today and call the White House while you're at it.

Enough is enough.
