TPP = Corporate Power Tool of the 1%

The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is being negotiated in secret and the stakes for the 99% couldn't be higher. Go to www.TPP2012.com and click on TAKE ACTION today. Share Public Citizen Global Trade Watch's song parody to the tune of Jackson 5's ABC with friends and family and encourage them to take action too! Follow us @PCGTW and the hashtag #TPP2012. Together, we can STOP the TPP!

Have you heard? The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) "free trade" agreement is a stealthy policy being pressed by corporate America, a dream of the 1 percent, that in one blow could:
-offshore millions of jobs,
-free Wall Street and its banksters from oversight,
-reduce Internet freedom,
-ban policies needed to create green jobs and rebuild local economies,
-decrease access to medicine by extending drug company monopolies,
-empower corporations to attack our environmental and health safeguards, such as tobacco control and clean air and water regulations.

Closed-door talks are on-going between the U.S. and Australia, Brunei, Chile, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, Malaysia and Vietnam; with countries like Japan and China potentially joining later. 600 corporate advisors have access to the text, while the public, Members of Congress, journalists, and civil society are excluded. And so far what we know about what's in there is very scary!

But there's still time to organize to shine a light on the horrors of the TPP and convince our governments to instead pursue policies that benefit the 99% in our countries. Watch this video and then take action by signing our petition calling for an end to secrecy in the TPP negotiations and learn more at www.TPP2012.com.

Very well done, but the singer's voice is a bit much. I know it's staying in the spirit of the Jackson 5, but there are people (like myself) out there who have audiology problems and are sensitive to high pitched noise. (It's one of the reasons I'm not a Jackson 5 fan.)

Still, very very well done and shared on FaceBook.

Thanks for making this! Shared on Facebook!

not bad but the video didnt really put across the facts very clearly

[William W Haywood]

This is serious stuff regardless of whether you like the video, or the singer, or not. Corporations already have enough power in power tools to get away with murder. This would end up telling us what kind of a country we have to live in and who we have to vote for. It is already to close to that right now. Without the people's ability to regulate corporations in this nation we have cooked our own goose.

Because the majority of Americans are morons. If this was a video of a dog licking his balls to a song, it would have over a million views already. Folks ready to wake up your brain dead friends and families on these important issues than get Charlie Daniel's new video "Behold a pale horse". beholdapalehorse.tv

Shouldn't sing "Screw you and me" when you are singing like Michael Jackson, it freaks me out... :)

[DimitriEnerjak]

Agreed, it is an atrocity... but allow me to do you one better.

Throw out any right for any man or group of men to dictate another via force, fraud, and coercion in the name of being "governed". You'd imagine this to be the only course of action to make sense, given the moment you give a man or group of men the power to control the lives or actions of another, this is what happens.

This has been our world's history 100% of the time... today would be absolutely no different.

[NewAmericaNow]

You know why Gov't can't fix this? Because you have given Gov't so much power over us, the people, that they no longer respond to or fear the people. When the gov't fears the people their will be Freedom until then your just a disgruntled slave asking for permission.

TPP is highly controlled by the JEWISH CABAL and Global Mafia !

They are coming to monopolize everything , and make slaves out of the US citizens , JEWS are lazy people they don't like to work - they like you to work for them.

Rothschild and Rockefeller just merged and now they are trying to set up a universal RETIREMENT for the US citizens.

SECEDE NOW and cut of the TAXPAYER money supply before the US goes bankrupt !

[nobuoka401]

yes mostly jpn's also disagree TPP,

by the way'

this style is vogue already?

[Larkinchance]

Well, that's one way to get out the message...

Better than no message at all.
