It is a sweet deal for big corporations and a ripoff to the American people. The secret negotiations, and the fact that the corporations are writing this bill tell me that we, the people, are going to be short-changed.
Only those terms conducted in the full light of day with the knowledge and agreement of the people it will affect should be brought up for a vote, with much discussion and input from the public and their elected representatives.
