Hello all,

Welcome to 2016, the year we dispel the myths about the TPP and other toxic
trade disasters.When the president tells us on the *January 12 State of the
Union* that the “TPP is the most progressive trade agreement in US
history”, we will certainly be ready to dispute the propaganda.

This email is sent amid breaking news of *TransCanada’s announcement that
it will sue the U.S. Government for over $15 billion under NAFTA’s Chapter
11 Investor State Dispute Settlement process (ISDS) for nixing the Keystone
Pipeline.*

This announcement illustrates the false nature of the administration’s
claims that we have nothing to worry about when it comes to ISDS suits… the
recent Country of Origin (COOL) ruling also shows the U.S. is not immune to
disputes where taxpayers pay out millions or billions under corporate
globalization investor-state claims, and where Congress feels obliged to
undo laws democratically passed to protect U.S. citizens and the
environment.

Meanwhile, despite mass popular resistance, the toxic trade treaty is on
track to be signed in New Zealand Feb 4th.

Once you go to the page, scroll down and fill in the form to list your
actions.I’m working with a group in Tampa to hold a March, drumming, and
banner-flying event.Best places are high-visibility locations.Really, this
is a huge deal, and we must all work together to stop it.The key to stop
this deal is in Congress.It is NOT a done deal!

There is lots more to talk about, but I had thought this would be a short
mailing to invite you to our upcoming activist’s call.Sorry about the
lengthy mailing.
