Tell Congress and Nancy Pelosi to LEAD and vote NO on "fast tracking" the TPP

Subject: NAFTA on steroids A secret trade deal that hurts working people and enriches corporations? No thanks! The Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP) will make it easier for corporations to ship job overseas, roll back Wall Street reforms, and drive up the costs of medicines. It'll be like NAFTA on steroids! President Obama is asking for "fast-track" authority from Congress to quickly pass the agreement with limited debate. But members of Congress don't even know what's in it! The deal has been kept secret, accessible only to corporations and heads of state. Tell Congress to vote NO on "fast tracking" the TPP. Add your name to the petition. http://act.credoaction.com/sign/pelosi_reid_tpp

15 Companies That Paid Zero Income Tax Last Year (Despite $23 Billion In Profits)

   Here   ""The revenues raised from eliminating corporate tax subsidies should not be given right back to corporations in the form of tax-rate reductions," the report says. "Instead, as the vast majority of Americans understand, these desperately needed revenues should be used to address our nation’s fiscal problems and to make critically needed public investments in our nation’s future."

Fantastic news. Tired of your utility? Are they discouraging you from going solar or adding more weird fees and rates?
Great price point. Super tempting. My family has two homes with solar PV systems on their roofs. Tied to utilities... for now.
