\"\"<\/a>The Trans-Pacific Free Trade Agreement <\/a>(FTA) is a massive new international trade pact for the Pacific Rim being pushed by the U.S. government at the behest of transnational corporations for completion in 2012.<\/p>\n

Oregon cannot afford another trade deal that ships good-paying jobs overseas, reduces the tax base and puts a downward pressure on the wages and benefits in jobs we have left \u2014 all while handing new power to Wall Street to challenge financial, environmental and other public interest regulations. \u00a0Learn more about the Trans-Pacific FTA<\/a> and take action to help prevent it from becoming a NAFTA of the Pacific<\/a>.<\/p>\n

UPDATE: \u00a0During\u00a0ORFTC events on the Trans-Pacific FTA held in Redmond, Eugene, Ashland, Portland, Monmouth and Salem<\/a>\u00a0in February 2012, Oregonians from across the state signed letters urging their senior Senator to press the U.S. Trade Representative to publish its FTA proposals \u2014 and shortly thereafter,\u00a0Senator Wyden contacted us pledging to do just that.<\/a><\/p>\n

TAKE ACTION: \u00a0Please urge Senator Wyden to continue pressing for transparency in the Trans-Pacific FTA negotiations.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
