TO THE EDITOR:
At this time, we face a serious threat to what democracy we have left.
The Trans-Pacific Partnership, besides savagely curtailing internet freedom in the name of liberty, would enslave us in the name of our own freedom to an unelected tribunal of corporate lawyers who would examine democratically passed laws that raise the quality of human life, like food safety and environmental laws, finding them wanting for their greedy purposes.
This undermines the basic American principles of equality before the law and of consent of the governed.
Call your senators and representatives as soon as possible to stop this at 1-202-224-3121.
