new "free trade" agreement, the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). The
TPP is a massive trade and investment pact being negotiated between the
United States, Australia, Brunei Darussalam, Chile, Malaysia, New
Zealand, Peru, Singapore, Vietnam. And with the 15th round of
negotiations scheduled to begin December 3rd, 2012 in Auckland NZ,

Sign the PetitionAs
concerned global citizens, we call on you to make the TPP process
transparent and accountable to all, and to reject any plans that limit
our governments' power to regulate in the public interest. The TPP is a
threat to democracy, undermining national sovereignty, workers' rights,
environmental protections and Internet freedom. We urge you to reject
this corporate takeover.
