YouTube Description
as posted by the channelOn January 9, 2014, Congress introduced a bill to fast track the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a trade agreement of 12 countries being negotiated in secret between 600 US corporations and 12 country trade reps. The public, the press and most members of Congress have not seen the text of this agreement. The same day 40 people protested in front of LA area Congressman Xavier Becerra's office, because he did not sign letter pledging to vote against fast track. As a result, the TPP Movers were there to outsource his office to Vietnam.
Here's a companion video which shows a bit of my speech, a TPP song and constituents being locked out of the Congressman's office by the Chamber of Commerce, which owns the building where the Congressman's office is. The US Chamber President recently said that fast tracking the TPP is "the Chamber's number one trade priority for Congress in 2014."
