"As democracy is perfected, the office of the President represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be occupied by a downright fool and complete narcissistic moron."
--H.L. Mencken, the Baltimore Evening Sun, July 26, 1920    
.

"The issue today is the same as it has been throughout all history, whether man shall be allowed to govern himself or be ruled by a small elite."
-- Thomas Jefferson

.

"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."

-- Thomas Jefferson /Letter to the Secretary of the Treasury Albert Gallatin (1802)

 .

"A Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever."
--John Adams in a Letter to Abigail Adams (July 7, 1775)

NAFTA MUST WORK FOR WORKING AMERICANS

The White House recently gave Congress official notice of its intention to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) — and, already, corporations are trying to dictate how NAFTA is rewritten, further padding their pockets at the expense of working families. Click here to sign a petition the United States' chief trade negotiator that makes it clear that NAFTA must work for working Americans, and be negotiated transparently.

For too long, the United States and the world have been saddled with awful trade agreements that enrich corporate elites at the expense of good-paying jobs, labor rights, highway safety, consumer protections, affordable medicine, and a clean environment.

The corporations behind NAFTA and the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) want to rewrite NAFTA to add in the worst of the TPP — raking in billions for themselves with disastrous consequences for the majority of people both at home and abroad. 

Without massive public opposition, Americans, as well as people in Mexico and Canada, will remain explicitly barred from knowing what is being proposed in our names. All while corporate lobbyists get to cozy up to negotiators, telling them what to include in trade negotiations and what to leave out.

Trade agreements are too far-reaching to allow them to be written in a process that shuts out the public.  With a new national debate on trade policy finally taking root, it’s time to speak out.  Please take action now.

TAKE ACTION: If we want trade agreements that lift living standards and improve quality of life at home and abroad, trade negotiations can’t be controlled by corporate cronies.  Please sign our petition demanding a NAFTA replacement that puts working families first.

A National Right to Work bill has been introduced in the House. This legislation, H.R. 785, will have real consequences for working men and women across the country. Right to Work laws drive down wages and decrease workplace safety. We urge you to reach out to your members of Congress and tell them that they should oppose H.R. 785 and any other attempts to weaken collective bargaining rights.
