Because of Pres. Obama's stance in support of the TPP an international
trade agreement that would set up tribunals to sue countries whose labor,
environmental laws and local money prohibits profits for corporations as 
well as it would prevent public banks.

President Obama;

I am against the secretive trade agreement,TPP, and urge you to keep your
vow to protect and honor the Constitution of the U. S.in your oath of
office.
The secretive nature of the Transpacific Partnership denies Congress and
the people the opportunity to read and debate the merits of this proposed
trade agreement.

Your willingness to  defy your  fellow Democrats and your own liberal base
to pursue a partnership with Republicans. Your best chance for a
legacy-building achievement in the final two years of your presidency,is
to obey your oath of office and make this trade agreement transparent to
us, your supporters. Secrecy is a denial of the democratic process and a
government  whose branches represent advise and consent or not.

Speaking at a gathering of business leaders, Obama offered his strongest
public defense of his administration’s pursuit of a major 12-nation trade
deal in the Asia Pacific, known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP),
that has been opposed by Democrats, labor unions and environmental groups.
I urge to stop efforts for fast track of TTP.

Sincerely,
