Republican Senator Warns Secret Obamatrade Proposal Would Create ‘Pacific Union’ Akin To European Union

Are you as confused about the Trade Promotion Authority bill/trade agreement/drama as much as I am? Sen. Jeff Sessions[1] is one of its most outspoken critics, and was on “Hannity” recently to warn about what’s being discussed…

Budget[2]

“I’ve been there three times and I can tell you it is far more than a trade agreement,” he said. “It is a creating of an economic union. The congressional resource said it is a wide-ranging political and economic partnership that is created where the Sultan of Brunei gets one vote. The president of the United States gets one vote. Twelve countries – they have the ability to add other treaties and pass them. They have the ability to deal with climate issues, wage issues and environmental issues. There’s just no doubt about that.”

The Senator went on to say that he thinks the main reason it’s being “kept secret” is because if people were aware of it they would stop it “dead in it’s tracks,” and went on to compare it to the European Union.  But then you read articles in the Washington Free Beacon[3] and Federalist[4] contradicting a lot of the rumors about this, so…I really don’t know.
