Why are Congressmen Signing Non-Disclosure Forms on Obama’s Secret Treaty?

Obamatrade, better known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership, is a trade deal that will ….; it's a partnership between the US and Pacific rim nations that would allow …; Okay, does anyone really know exactly what Obamatrade, aka the TPP, is about? Not hardly, as this trade deal is a secret. It's so secret that members of Congress must go to a classified reading room in the Capitol to even read it. After reading it, any notes they take on the deal are "confiscated" or are left in the room. Those who have been to this classified room to read it cannot discuss; and, it has been stated, most recently by Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-SC), that members of Congress are required "to sign a non-disclosure agreement" that assures no member who has read it will discuss it.

This really is stupid. Any Congressman with backbone could disclose all of the contents he could remember, regardless of the so-called non-disclosure agreement, if he does it on the floor of the House or Senate.

The Constitution, Article I, Section 6, Clause 1, provides:

[The Senators and Representatives] . . . for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.

So they can say anything they want on the floor of the House or Senate, and nothing can be done about it.

Maybe we should remind our Congressmen of their rights under the Constitution and suggest that they say what they know.

“...These asshats forget whom they serve ...”

I’m beginning to think it’s less “forget who they serve” and more “We just don’t gve a sh*t.”

If they really cared, you’d think they’d fight back ONCE in a while.

They don’t... and aren’t going to.

It provides for equal partnership between the US and PRC, with voting to be apportioned based upon population. Any disputes in governance will be decided by the Chief Executive of each country casting the votes to which his country is entitled, with a simple majority of the votes cast deciding the issue. So the US gets about 300 million votes and the Chinese get only a billion votes.

Doubt me? Ask your congressman or senator, and decide for yourself.

But don’t you see how Obama is outsmarting the Chinese? With the immigration provisions in the treaty, in ten years the US will have a population of 1 billion, and China will have a population of 300 million.

It is a matter of trust. Who trusts the president?

Anyone? Anyone one one one one one........

Who trust the Congressional leadership?

Anyone? Anyone?

Yes, lots of Republican reps are against this, just not the leadership. Also, a lot of Dems are against this, because their labor union masters do not like it.

“this trade deal is a secret. It’s so secret that members of Congress must go to a classified reading room in the Capitol to even read it.”

I think that anyone who was allowed to see the Obamas birth
certificate had to sign Non-Disclosure Forms too.

I could understand it if it was classified against foreign
spying or something but this is classified against the
American people. The only reason being that it is so bad
and/or destructive that it would be shot down in it’s entirety
by the people immediately. You watch, this will
be more legislation that is 80% against the will of the
people with republican support.
