Your Signature is Needed: Stand up to corporate greed

URGENT ACTION NEEDED: Tell Congress to OPPOSE pro-corporate and anti-environment trade agreements! Our trade deals prioritize corporate profits over people and planet. In fact, many of them include provisions that let foreign corporation SUE the United States for not approving fossil fuel projects in our country. If companies win these suits, secret tribunals can order taxpayers to pay foreign companies hundreds of millions if not billions of dollars! That’s why some members of Congress are fighting to remove these provisions from the Central America-Dominican Republic Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA). [Please, Friend take just 30 seconds to tell your Representative to stand up to corporate greed in our trade deals!]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( Trade deals should reflect the needs of American workers, our communities and our planet, not multinational corporations. That’s not the case right now, Friend. Under one of these unfair trade deal provisions, a U.S. based company recently filed a suit against the Canadian government for rejecting a liquid natural gas project. Governments should have the right to keep out dirty energy projects that will pollute their communities – instead our trade deals let those companies sue governments for protecting their people and environment!
