Here's what to email you GOP representative before the fast track vote

[I hate liars]

Just spotted this in today's 2 PM Water Cooler post on Naked Capitalism:

Here’s the text of Senator Jeff Sessions’ letter to Obama on the “Living Agreement” clause in TPP [Jeff Sessions]. Sessions went to the secret room and did some reading. This is the result:

I asked that you make public the section of the TPP that creates a new transnational governance structure known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership Commission. The details of this new governance commission are extremely broad and have the hallmarks of a nascent European Union, with many similarities.

Reviewing the secret text, plus the secret guidance document that accompanies it, reveals that this new transnational commission—chartered with a “Living Agreement” clause—would have the authority to amend the agreement after its adoption, to add new members, and to issue regulations impacting labor, immigration, environmental, and commercial policy. Under this new commission, the Sultan of Brunei would have an equal vote to that of the United States.

The implications of this new Pacific Union are extraordinary and ought to be discussed in full, in public, before Congress even contemplates fast-tracking its creation and pre-surrendering its power to apply the constitutional two-thirds treaty vote. In effect, to adopt fast-track is to agree to remove the constitutional protections against the creation of global governance structures before those structures are even made public.

I would therefore ask that you provide to me the legal and constitutional basis for keeping this information from the public and explain why I cannot share the details of what I have read with the American people.

When you call your Representative, and they’re a Republican, mention this letter. Yes, I’m amazed I’m quoting Jeff Sessions, but the White House hasn’t said anything about this, nor have the usual Democratic stooges (and the jokes about “black helicopters” write themselves, so that would not be hard to do). That to me means not only is what Sessions is saying true, the truth is so toxic they’re afraid even to try to distort it. And given what we know about the Obama administration, that’s amazing too.

I just fired the link to Sessions' letter to my local right-wing Congressman. Who knows, this might be the lever we need to swing a few GOP votes in our direction.
