Correction I misunderstood the meaning of Mr. Saito's tweet. Anyway I keep this as it is until I receive a request to delete. I'm sorry for inconveniences caused by my remark. Open letter 17 December, 2011 Dear sirs at US State Department I have been using Twitter and found one recent tweet by a ruling DPJ congressman very annoying. https://twitter.com/#!/saitoyasunori Mr. Saito says in one of his tweet dated 16 December, that Since TPP deprives member countries of their sovereignty, we must promote it(TPP.)" Here is a picture of his tweet: I always thought that TPP is a trade-related issue and none of the sovereignity of member countries would be affected. I would truly appreciate it if you could give me your recognition of TPP regarding sovereignity. Thank you very much in advance.
