[Sustainable Agriculture and Natural Resources Management Working Group]

Please pass the word to others about
the TPP as most people are unaware of this trade agreement or its ominous
effects if passed.

Something
is looming in the shadows that could help erode our basic rights and
contaminate our food.  The Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) has the
potential to become the biggest regional Free Trade Agreement in history, both
in economic size and the ability to quietly add more countries in addition to
those originally included.  As of 2011 its 11 countries accounted for 30
percent of the world's agricultural exports.  Those countries are the US,
Australia, Brunei, Chile, Canada, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore
and Viet Nam.  Recently, Japan has joined the negotiations.
