Democrats Step Up Efforts to Block Obama’s Trade Agenda –The Trans-Pacific Partnership, secretly negotiated by and for corporations, is a trade ‘deal’ that would cost American jobs, weaken [what’s left of] food safety and financial regulations and undermine environmental and labor standards. | 8 Jan 2015 | President Obama is facing opposition from fellow Democrats to one of his top priorities: winning the power to negotiate international trade agreements and speed them through Congress. As Mr. Obama’s team [of corpora-terrorists, Wall Street trolls, and sociopaths] works privately to line up support for the so-called trade promotion authority, a coalition of Democratic lawmakers and activists from organized labor, environmental, religious and civil rights groups is stepping up efforts to stop him. “Fast track would be yet another insult to the American worker,” Representative Rosa DeLauro, Democrat of Connecticut, said on Thursday at a news conference on Capitol Hill, where she predicted the effort’s defeat. “It will not happen. We are not going to do it.”
