Stein: Hi, I'm Jill Stein.  If you think corporate personhood is a bad idea, just wait for corporate nationhood.

In fact right now, the Obama administration and bipartisan supporters are trying to ram through Congress a secret global deal, the Trans Pacific Partnership or TPP.

This backroom deal gives corporations more power than nations.  It lets multinational corporations, foreign powers, overrule our laws including critical protections for workers, our health and the environment.

For the safety of our food, our air and our water, the security of our bank accounts, our access to the Internet and so much more; it even overrides the Constitution.  People call it NAFTA on steroids because it intensifies the offshoring of our jobs and the downward pressure on wages.

It enforces this new world governance by creating a special global court, consisting of three super-judges appointed by the World Bank.

In short the TPP is a Trojan horse for a global corporate coup.

But the most important thing about the TPP is that we can stop it.

Grassroots activists and organizations have already done heroic work delaying the TPP.

Now, I'm asking you to join me in giving this movement a political voice, which means we're not only standing up against the TPP, we're holding the White House and its bipartisan allies accountable for this direct assault on our democracy.

Join me in standing with this movement.  Add your voice to our call to stop the TPP.

Thank you so very much.  It's in our hands.

Notes: A solid issue-focused video.  Nicely lit, but the background is a bit distracting and the use of the many different shots is a bit odd.
