The American people have been left largely in the dark

Dear FRIEND, Once again, fast track has reared its ugly head. While we were able to temporarily defeat fast track, also called Trade Promotion Authority, in the House less than two weeks ago, the bill’s supporters have managed to send it back to the senate.There lawmakers are expected to vote as soon as tomorrow. If it’s approved, it would clear the way for passage of the secretive Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). Will you tell your senators to reject fast track? Then take a minute to spread the word on Facebook  and Twitter . Fast track would allow President Obama and his successor to ram trade deals through Congress, only allowing lawmakers an up-or-down vote and forbidding them from adding any amendments. After twenty years of NAFTA, it's clear what these trade agreements do: they push jobs overseas, weaken food and consumer safety standards, circumvent environmental laws, restrict Internet freedom and roll back financial protections. And the process by which the TPP has been negotiated has been decidedly undemocratic. While representatives of some of the nation’s largest corporations have had input, the American people have been left largely in the dark. Demand that your senators reject fast track of the Trans-Pacific Partnership.Then spread the word on Facebook  and Twitter . All the best, Sarah Arnold

The TRUTH will set you FREE.
