this is quite interesting: DeFazio holds forum on TPP

DeFazio said in its current form, the TPP would greatly impact matters involved with human rights, the environment and the amount of available jobs in the U.S. market.

“(Students) should be involved and opposed because this is going to have a detrimental impact on all those things,” DeFazio said.
