If this is coming, the lobby will rule our world and destroy our essential liberty ...

wow - can't even get past the first two...

did you sign it? * the petition

[aut.t.n]

Every reasonable person should sign this imo. How is the coverage of this in the US news? In Europe (at least Germany), thanks to many hard working NGOs the topic has arrived in the mainstream news finally.

this is interesting, since i only knew whats goin on here in germany and europe ... would be interesting to know what is goin on in america, cause their the second part of the trade agreement ... ??

the coverage in the US is probably non existent but thats ok cause if theres one thing americans can trust, its that their government would never allow a treaty that negativly affects america.

sadly we europeans cant say the same for our EU government, the reason is that its not a real government, EU is not a country.

ttip would affect america, cause it would allow the EU to lower their lately signed harder regulations in the banking sector ...

but i agree with you, its sad that it seems that the "EU" is not always behind the population of the countrys ... but for the industry ...

[Themis]

i dont have anything against economic treatys in general.

EU is an economic treaty itself thats for me the core problem.
the EU was founded out of economic interest and not out of ideology.

so thats why they dont act in the interest of the population. that doesnt mean its always against the population, but lately more often than not they forget that not everything that brings economic growth is in the peoples interest.
