Actions You Can Take

Contact Your Congressman to Stop the Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement.

From the Coalition For A Prosperous America:

Help this national effort to STOP the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) and Fast Track. TPP is NAFTA and CAFTA on STEROIDS, and Fast Track is a tool the administration can use to take from Congress a power clearly given to them in the Constitution.

Here is a short video to help you understand how bad this will be, but keep in mind it just touches the surface.

The Obama Administration is negotiating, in secret, this dangerous trade and global governance agreement (the Trans Pacific Partnership), and he is trying to Fast Track it. Sold under the guise of "free trade", the TPP is an assault on our constitution. It will transfer large swaths of Congress' and state power to international tribunals, all the while "harmonizing" U.S. law with international rules.

ATP Comment - These new publications were created and are run by Tea Partiers. They are going a long way towards getting the Tea Party message out to our state. The Free Citizen movement began with coverage of food freedom advocate Martha Boneta in Fauquier County and the farm bill, and has gone on to provide solid news coverage from our side of the ledger ever since. Please bookmark these sites in your browser, tell your friends, and sign up for accounts and mailings (this helps them attract advertisers).

ATP Comment - CSG was formed by professional teachers, Tea Partiers in Tennessee, to provide a foundation for effective citizen lobbying at all levels of government. CSG has presented to a Virginia Tea Party Patriots state-wide conference and concall. CSG is also presenting its training in about half the country now. People are saying great things about this training and graduates are beginning to shake up local politics in the Memphis area. If you'd like to hone your activist skills, this is a good way to do it.
