Ted Cruz claims he is anti-establishment, but it is hard to tell when listening to his reasoning for supporting the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement that essentially gives away national sovereignty to the group of nations that are signatories, and to the multinational corporations that are pushing for this proposal.
I want to trust Cruz, I really do, but it seems that with every politician that I examine I find a lot of shenanigans, but this is a very serious one.
Make no mistake, this fake trade deal kills the sovereignty of any nation who signs it.
As exposed by Wikileaks, only five of the twenty-nine chapters of TPP have to do with trade, while the balance has to do with Internet control, labor relations, and a host of other issues that should be negotiated separately.
The TPP allows corporations to sue government in secret tribunals. It doesn’t get more anti-sovereign than that.
Worse yet, it was written by corporations and negotiated in secret. An agreement that is negotiated in secret is an agreement that is designed to screw someone, and that usually means the public.

Check to make sure your political party wasn’t #tampered with #ASAP~~#monkey #business. Remember we #NEED every vote~~ Our lives literately depend on it. http://www.diamondandsilkinc.com/how-to-switch/
Helen, David, I do know that if Donald Trump is elected President, the illegal immigrants will be stopped from entering your country, the people of Islam will not be coming into the United States unless they are completely Vetted, You will have a President that loves America and all of the American people. For anyone of the American people to let this chance go by, to have a non politician in the White House. It is getting close to the Iowa Caucus and all of the paid liars are out in force. Don’t allow them to b******t you and therefore make you change your mind
Donald Trump is the only one that wants to protect the American citizens from harm, just like the Oath of Office that the President takes, Protect from all enemies foreign or domestic. All of the other CANDIDATES never even considered the Protection of you or your family, when Obama stated that he was bringing the Sydney Refugees. Donald Trump, immediately raised concerns of the safety of the American people and proposed a temporary ban on people of Islam entering the United States, until a system that would make sure that Radical Islamic Terrorists would not be getting into the United States. Well folks, they all agree now! Donald Trump claims that he (with our help ) will make A Great Again, I Believe Him! I am going to do ALL THAT I CAN to save the United States of America. I Love America and I do not want it to become an Islamic Nation. I am voting for Donald Trump, I am voting for the United States of America.
I love America also and unless we get Obama out of office before too long there will not be an election because he will declare martial law so he can not leave office and only he can declare Marshall law ended which will make him dictator. As for Trump he is a narcissistic blowhard. Now don’t stop reading yet because I said something against him. I thought he would be good too but I’m sick of hearing from him how great he is and how he is going to make America great again with no real plan. This man has no idea how to deal with other countries other than on a business level. As President you can not deal with them that way. They are not your friends. I get along with Putin is not a strategy. Putin is a dangerous man. When ORielly gave him some names of some pretty bad guys overseas that any candidate should know he didn’t know who they were and it wasn’t a trick question. Trump is not one of us. He is big business. This job is not for the one who yells the loudest. There are things he would be good for this country so give him a job in the government to handle the immigration problem but don’t give him the presidency to handle foreign affairs. I listen to some of his rallies but got so sick of him repeating the same things over and over again and not really saying anything but I’m going to make America great again. Everybody likes me. I’m going to build a wall. I’m going to suspend refugees from coming in.These are all good ideas but there has to be more substance. Cruz says the same thing only in a presidential tone not yelling it out like a kid on a sugar high. Cruz has real plans. If you listened to him in Iowa he talked to a farmer who was angry with him over ethanol and he was able to explain to him in detail what his plan was and that it would not hurt the farmers and won over the angry farmer. Now that’s presidential to have a full plan and be able to lay it out which is something Trump doesn’t have. You can’t have ideas and say I will figure it out when I get in there. We have a right to know he actually knows what he is doing. He may be a good businessman but he did go bankrupt many times and we the good citizens bailed him out. You have to remember big business is a big influence in DC. Do we want to add to that problem by putting big business in the head seat. You know he’s not going to do anything to hurt big business because that would be like chopping off his own foot. Choose wisely not by who screams the loudest
Cruz go home
I hate TPP. I’ve told all my congress people that it’s a terrible deal and I don’t want any of it period!
I’d like to see everything from LBJ to present repealed. With the exception of presidents Ford and Reagan.
Hell no! Go Trump!!
This article doesn’t make sense to me. It starts out by saying that Paul Ryan authored the bill. About halfway through, it says Ryan and Cruz weren’t even allowed to read the bill. Does that make sense to anyone? I’m thinking someone is exaggerating here, or else Ryan didn’t really write the bill.
