Obamatrade renders Congress and the Constitution null and void

Capitol HILL Briefing and Press conference

December 9TH, 10 a.m. Cannon HOB Room 121, 

China & the Trans-Pacific Partnership: 

 How the TPP will allows China to ‘write the rules’ and weaken the U.S.

WASHINGTON D.C. – President Obama sold Obamacare by telling us “If you like your insurance, you can keep your insurance.” 

Now he is selling the Trans-Pacific Partnership by telling us “If we don’t write the rules for the global economy, China will.”  

Once again, the White House spin is at odds with the facts.  The truth is, TPP will actually help China “write the rules.”

At a Capitol Hill briefing on Wednesday December 9, leading national security and trade experts will explain how China will exploit the TPP to “write the rules” to its own benefit – to draw its neighbors into a tighter orbit, use them to export more goods to the U.S. while undercutting U.S. producers, and forge an alliance that weakens U.S. influence in the Asia-Pacific region and strengthens China’s military, economic and diplomatic power.

Join national security and international trade experts:

• Clyde Prestowitz, trade official and negotiator in the Reagan administration and currently president of the Economic Strategy Institute,
• Pat Mulloy, former commissioner on the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission, and
• Peter Navarro, author of  Crouching Tiger: What China’s Militarism Means for the World

For a briefing and press conference on how China is poised to exploit the Trans-Pacific Partnership to boost its military, economic and diplomatic influence.

Contrary to the White House spin, the TPP is actually an Open Door policy that will:

• Boost China’s growing economic, military and diplomatic influence in the region while weakening America’s strategic alliances
• Strengthen ties between China and its neighbors and draw them more tightly into China’s embrace
• Allow China to join, either on its own or in tandem with Taiwan’s accession, without the approval of the U.S. Congress
• Structure Asia-Pacific nations into a trading coalition that China will come to dominate and use to “write the rules”
• Commit the U.S. military to defending the trade routes China uses to build its economic and military power
• Allow goods made in China to be transported through TPP countries and sold in the U.S. without U.S. goods having reciprocal access to China’s market
• Reduce the US tax base and exacerbate budget deficits now constraining our military budget
