Received this e-mail today from former Governor Ted Strickland (D. OH) U.S. Senate campaign:
What if I told you that NAFTA devastated the Ohio economy and cost our state hundreds of thousands of jobs? I bet you already knew that.
What if I then told you another massive, free trade agreement called the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) will have the same disastrous effects as NAFTA?
No one in their right mind would repeat the same mistake and hurt working families again, would they?
Unfortunately, foreign companies and special interests are mobilizing right now to enact the TPP. And in the process, they will be enriching themselves by robbing the future of Ohio's working families.
It's up to you, me, and folks across Ohio and America to join together now to stop the TPP. We must create a movement large enough to counter the millions of dollars being spent to force the adoption of the TPP.
Join me in fighting for Ohio's working families -- and sign my petition to oppose the TPP!

Right now, big corporations and officials from the United States and 11 other countries are negotiating the controversial Trans-Pacific Partnership behind closed doors.
We've seen the results of similar discussions before. Over the past 20 years, NAFTA has devastated Ohio's economy and cost hundreds of thousands of lost jobs. The Trans-Pacific Partnership will only do more harm.
Negotiating these critical trade policies is not how you rebuild America's middle class. This will not help America's workers. And this undermines our efforts to defend the American dream.
The TPP fails America. Join me now in opposing another devastating free-trade agreement. We must make our voices heard and fight for our own.
Sign my petition opposing the TPP today -- and fight for Ohio's families and workers!
