This is another one of those times when everyone needs to call the elected representatives. The most important members on this particular issue are all four Colorado republican members of the US House of Representatives. Call and tell them NO on the Trans Pacific Partnership AKA the TPP. Buck is pretty much a no go at this point but call anyway.
Those members are
Doug Lamborn
Mike Coffman
Ken Buck
Scott Tipton
House approved it before, and now the Senate approved it. Going up for ratification soon.

Yup, that does not bode well for us. This treaty was created in secret and has provisions for limiting how you can protect data. Folks.... Bombs and bullets are not the only currency in war..... Now its data and this screws us.
The "Fast Track" option gives the POTUS the ability to negotiate, sign & ratify a treaty without Congressional approval (it bypasses the requirement for Congressional vote). This should scare every American.
This means that the POTUS can approve the UN Small Arms Treaty, without Congressional approval and it then becomes binding... See the bigger picture here?
Also, the TPP establishes (as mentioned above) a global clearinghouse that sets laws, rules, penalties, enforcement, etc. that will completely bypass our Congress, and worse yet, our Constitution!
The TPA, which leads to the TPP, is the death blow to our Nation.
Good article by Paul McGuire linked below. Here's a snippet:

If the TPA is finally passed in one form or another, then the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty could be passed without a senatorial vote!
With this and the SCOTUS becoming a lawless institution, we are indeed screwed. Not just the libs, those we elected in our own party have betrayed us.
