Is this a satirical comment or are you actually using the word "megacorps" seriously? Just because a company is big doesn't mean it is nefarious. You should explain why these companies are evil and how them endorsing TPP is a bad thing.

The fact that it matters speaks poorly of our representative government, and the fact that Google is willing to use that power to attempt to influence policy decisions speaks poorly of Google's respect for citizen rule.
