I strongly urge everyone to write to your representatives and OPPOSE the TPP.
This accord, reached largely in secret, with many anti-democratic and pro-corporatist provisions, including governance and arbitration that favors big business over working people and consumers, is a BAD DEAL for America. Read Robert Reich's readily available explanations if you don't already know why this is so. If you disagree, I apologize for "getting in your face," but you're dead wrong and America's future, and the future of the global environment are endangered by the short-sightedness of Democrats who go along with this bad deal.
Here's a convenient way to write to both senators and your Congressional representative, no matter where you live:

Here's all you need to say, to keep it simple:
(salutation automatic)
"I am writing you to urge you to VOTE NO on the Trans Pacific Partnership.
Leading experts have concurred that this deal is not in the interests of American working people, or those who care about the environment.
Thank you."
Of course you can make it more elaborate, but hundreds of thousands of letters saying no more than that can have an effect.
Thank you.
