Though it's on a Thursday, the 4th of February, I hope AWARE can demonstrate our support for this action, in solidarity with other groups.

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. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/transcanada-files-lawsuit-over-keystone-pipeline-rejection/article28038526/<http://click.actionnetwork.org/mpss/c/3AA/ni0YAA/t.1tm/VGv-GPzwTHS7kqagvuF3Gw/h0/F7782i1jdb8OUEECmT1rlstJgkGdywep5-2B2a4PAHAOQNgSgFG6bM6V0PT7vPTdJc0SpeVL24Rnn0Rx286DgKfhxQIslFSiDvjOWw2ThQE-2F9HTmxcpQyVGkgmd1QOL2VLgeJKRjPmX6FF-2BWn-2BuM-2F2SdhbZkUhlPz0U1eJIJvHaoI3yZb4fh5yiF9pt2fPyzqtz2z-2B-2FnqSprwyYVQOtP-2FS78VuQfv8k60rGC8Kk8-2BR40uKhrmdkFg-2FbaFQhSesfAhg8bXSKlJltsaYmQ3Ao5VhyahYa9G0FCYImIKeyJSAgnAQnPpwc2q-2B800tyXe39aR35nejp4CQDDnxh2B-2FDTT8LwzzYADXoYhYmvoV-2FlFlLzqcKBa7Ub9abaV0w3eVU7GRk8uWSKmpkzKKkOtVxTQ0YG3J483Blgqi4tpOfCpL-2FjwZUZl-2FjGZWJg91EVzP7W9-2F1mnyNs3UxzUGuizXVEUXWw-3D-3D>

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.http://www.bna.com/tpp-countries-sign-n57982065797/<http://click.actionnetwork.org/mpss/c/3AA/ni0YAA/t.1tm/VGv-GPzwTHS7kqagvuF3Gw/h1/Tzght8u6zb2kS3-2BcK4oa9NxnaabMXUVVbdYPcWtbgDPX-2Bc7JCQmuEkJu-2BpDzCRcYAIK7T2GlQWFgYwyhh8Unhce1F2Vg2ND4Odg2RVFk1qaS7RozZsObCxBwj-2BFGtUBk8qPenbsKqLDJlXC6DSL4ltiKmAw11JE-2FTMhIrmLqtqAxgCXexq0fhcNRC5iHS9mtxWYVut8QfgE5BxnItWVGujlmBX8QKkwGgirHCivkhfofll5wU6bR-2BteMp09QTLM9PJfrvcIIT3rDNlWHCsb7sve-2FTudF5aZ-2FqPURvX2O8HmaZEcO7jE6LTcBkkgbRGCn-2BzBSDYVEutr5WfAaL53DPWJJUz-2F28fZAzi2MbvFoZzU-3D>

We will hold mass actions, nationwide Feb 4. We are working with our allies, flushthetpp.org<http://flushthetpp.org> to hold actions, and to report them so they will show up on the map. http://www.flushthetpp.org/actions/<http://click.actionnetwork.org/mpss/c/3AA/ni0YAA/t.1tm/VGv-GPzwTHS7kqagvuF3Gw/h2/-2Be1fWl7gzTZ7ryhlOjBOu9oyMvfTm83ieCZyGJjIFnPL8ZRriGu-2FknHajBUQoafepk7EMdrSRzExh2FJG3bN2ddCLwZELT7aQ8s-2BRrE0mnHyt5RmGzuUDi-2FtgpsaRwBGnaFGqIRG39TrcsEitMzpf9Ve8zH2lxe4dvUnTeFBV7CamCJbpzyJuqQLjW-2Bi5Zz7YRJHmKDY8unVdnglbVib4lOxTnihCs9Sgjl4V8AmcXds5Ru1nPrN9DKfC0MhNsbAIwmj54XXI34zcAtk3hx6zAi21-2FzRX3qF40-2FwVPWl6tCzTlv946a1Eo0cvikVnEXA0P0kQ83glzT-2B5DpGmd0JLw-3D-3D>

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.
