Im far from confident that our congress will not pass it. In fact I'm thinking there's very few in congress that aren't going to vote FOR this and Pres Obama is promoting it.

I don't understand how a secret trade deal read by no one but a select few can be passed unless there's lots of money changing hand in congress.
God help this country! The land of the oligarchs not the free.
