Do they know that this needs to be done soon, so it is not an issue in OUR presidential politics?
Don't they know that the TPP is the Gold Standard? (For corporations, but hey, that's just a feature. For corporations).
The nerve of some people.
And - good for them!

It's like anything anti-corporate control draws these posters like flies to manure.

I guess their job just got tougher since it seems it's not just the US who Knows the TPP is a corporate pile of manure.

I always think...what the hell?!

How in the world can anyone other than billionaires and Bankster crooks support this, without seeing exactly what's in it?

"Leaders" of countries, using the populace as nothing more than tools for money, including Obama.

You know, most US-type people that like to travel to other countries also have an expanded ability to think for themselves.

I haven't seen any statistics, but my bet is that liberals/progressives are in the vast majority of folks who like to travel abroad.

Oh, wait. Generals and arm-chair warriors also like to be seen in foreign conflict zones.

It followed a 4-hour rally near Harajuku Station. The banner from the rally, which appears in my sig line, was also used in the demonstration.
