Thank you!

Expose the TPP - USA

We are a non-partisan (national and international) coalition of grassroots
activists focused on stopping the TPP.  Expose the TPP-USA admires and
supports all like-minded initiatives. We especially appreciate the years
of expertise and fortitude of Lori Wallach with Citizen.org/Expose the
TPP.org (founded 25 yrs. ago by Ralph Nader). Most of us at Expose the
TPP-USA are not ego-driven and welcome support and partnership from
similar functioning activists.  We all win or we all loose.

LASER  FOCUS !  STOP FAST TRACK !

We need to
continually remind others to LASER FOCUS their energy and attention to
STOP FT, preferably before it is introduced into congress on Jan. 7/8
(by getting 40 more US HOUSE REPS to call Rep. Miller’s office to
sign-on to the DeLauro-Miller letter.) That would make our lives
significantly easier in regards to
stopping Fast Track and the TPP.  Should we fail and we allow FT to
become law.. we would have a hellish and urgent fight on our hands. Let's
shoot for relative easy
 yes?  WE ARE NOT WILLING TO GAMBLE WITH THE
SOVEREIGNTY OF OUR NATION! We insist on leaving a legacy better than the
Third World existence that the corporate written TPP would create for our
heirs.

EVERYTHING WE DO RIGHT NOW needs support the END RESULT of STOPPING FAST
TRACK.

WHEN we stop Fast Track, we will be *severing the head from the tail of
this trans-national corporate driven monster.  Fast
 Track is the HEAD and TPP is the tail (as is TAFTA and all other
“trade” agreements the corps want to ram into law). Fast Track is KEY
to stopping this brazen attempt of a global corporate coup.

Stopping
 Fast Track is the first domino:  Knocking over this first domino will
start a chain reaction.  The next domino to go down will be the TPP,
then TAFTA, etc. Then, we start unwinding this whole global mess created
 by the corporate whores. (Yah, we can say that... we are "grassroots!" :-)
_________________________________________________________________________

Fast Track is KEY... we need everyone to realize this and remind ALL
others to LASER FOCUS!

The grassroots movement is building everyday. Below is a draft of our
coalitions' current strategy.
We invite you to share these with your colleagues. Laser focused efforts
carry great weight.

STRATEGY - LEVELS OF CURRENT NATIONAL ACTIONS

LEVEL 1:  SIMPLE CALLS:  “Vote NO on FAST TRACK”
a) CALL:  202 . 224 . 3121
Everyone is to call US House Reps with this message.
Enter zip code here to find your US HOUSE REP:  www.contactingthecongress.org
(link here)

b) Rapid Response Calls/Tweets/Emails/Facebook, etc. after the TPA Bill is
dropped Jan. 7/8.

LEVEL 2:  BE THE MEDIA CAMPAIGN
http://tinyurl.com/BeTheMediaTPP

Get everyone in the USA to organize and strategize how to:

a) Canvass their communities thoroughly with flyers  
http://tinyurl.com/FTflyers  (Updated  soon.)
b) This will create awareness for:
c) Twitter and Internet Storms, Craig's List, etc.  
http://tinyurl.com/TwitterStormTPPJan1
d) Phone call Storms (link)
e) Storm local papers with LETTERS to the EDITORS & OP EDs. (Congress
reads these !)(link)
f)  Home parties, conference calls, etc. (link)
g) Get more activists in their state groups for strategic actions:  
www.tinyurl.com/StateActionGroups
h) Enlist the masses to call their US House Reps to demand #1:  “VOTE NO
on FAST TRACK”

LEVEL 3:  GOAL:  40 MORE US HOUSE REPS SIGN DELAURO-MILLER LETTER BY JAN 7/8.
(link here: call scripts and inoculation to rebut “push back”)

WE HAVE TWO WRITTEN CONFIRMATIONS from Rep. Miller's staff (shared with
Public Citizen) that Rep. Miller has opened the DeLauro-Miller Letter for
MORE to sign on... both Dems and Repubs.

We need the nation pressuring US HOUSE REPS to sign-on to Rep. Miller's
letter. (As per Lori Wallach, the HOUSE is where we WILL win this fight!
ALL attention needs to be focused on the HOUSE.)

LEVEL 4:  DO BIRD DOGGING...  (link here)
This “unnerves” Congress members
 makes them think there are many more aware.
They do not like uncertainty
 and this pushes their “comfort envelopes.”

LEVEL 5:  FACE-to-FACE with US HOUSE REP WHILE IN DISTRICT
http://tinyurl.com/HOWtoDoFace2Face
This is most powerful... and makes 1-4 actions even more potent.

LEVEL 6: PROTEST AT DISTRICT OFFICES

LEVEL 7: Let's focus on being successful so we need not escalate to this
level. :-)
