I am writing to spread the word about the Transatlantic Trade Investment Partnership (TTIP).

It is a dangerous trade deal being negotiated in secret between the EU and the US.

I am one of two million people who have signed the petition to scrap the deal.

This deal could allow big corporations to buy up some our most vital services, such as the NHS.

It would also give big businesses the power to sue our Government if they do not like the laws that protect all of us. That is just not right.

Our MEPs were meant to vote on TTIP on June 10 – but when it looked like they might actually vote against TTIP, the Parliament’s president cancelled the vote.

MEPs still need to know that the public want TTIP scrapped.

They need to feel public pressure.
