Talking Points: What You Can Say About TPP

It's easy to talk about why your member of Congress should oppose TPP. Here are some things you can say.

• If TPP comes up for a vote in Congress, your member of Congress needs to oppose it.
• TPP would expand to 12 other nations the same failed "free trade" policies that have already cost millions of jobs and shuttered tens of thousands of factories across the United States.
• If TPP comes up for a vote, not a single word can be changed. And TPP can't be changed or repealed if it passes unless all 12 nations agree to changes.
• The TPP would give multinational corporations the ability to challenge laws passed in the United States that could negatively impact their “expected future profits.” We can't risk giving corporations this kind of power.
• Trade deals like NAFTA and CAFTA have already done tremendous damage to American jobs.
• In the past 25 years, nearly 60,000 manufacturing plants in this country have been shut down, and we have lost almost 5 million decent-paying manufacturing jobs.
• Already the company that wanted to build the Keystone XL Pipeline is suing the United States for lost profits once activists forced the government to cancel the pipeline.
• TPP would also mean that pharmaceutical companies could increase the price of prescription drugs, and generic drugs wouldn't be as available or as cheap.
• Major religious groups oppose because they know what it could mean for some of the poorest people on the planet.
• Members of Congress need to oppose TPP if it comes up for a vote.
