There will be a surprise House vote on the Fast Track trade giveaway bill tomorrow.

Last Chance: You Should Call These Members of Congress Dear FRIEND: Let me get right to the point; then I'll dawdle later.There will be a surprise House vote on the Fast Track trade giveaway bill tomorrow. It will be a very close vote. If you want Fast Track to fail, you should call one or more of these Democrats, who voted in favor of Fast Track last week. If only four of them vote against it tomorrow, then we will win. Here is the list: Rep. Ami Bera (Calif.) - 202-225-5716 Rep. Jim Costa (Calif.) - (202) 225-3341 Rep. Susan Davis (Calif.) - (202) 225-2040 Rep. Sam Farr (Calif.) - (202) 225-2861 Rep. Jared Polis (Colo.) - (202) 225-2161 Rep. Mike Quigley (Ill.) - (202) 225-4061 Rep. John Delaney (Md.) - (202) 225-2721 Rep. Brad Ashford (Neb.) - (202) 225-4155 Rep. Gregory Meeks (N.Y.) - (202) 225-3461 Rep. Earl Blumenauer (Ore.) - (202) 225-4811 Rep. Suzanne Bonamici (Ore.) - (202) 225-0855 Rep. Kurt Schrader (Ore.) - (202) 225-5711 Rep. Jim Cooper (Tenn.) - (202) 225-4311 Rep. Henry Cuellar (Texas) - (202) 225-1640 Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson (Texas) - (202) 225-8885 Rep. Don Beyer (Va.) - (202) 225-4376 Rep. Gerry Connolly (Va.) - (202) 225-1492 Rep. Rick Larsen (Wash.) - (202) 225-2605 Rep. Derek Kilmer (Wash.) - (202) 225-5916 Rep. Ron Kind (Wis.) - (202) 225-5506 Rep. Suzan DelBene (Wash.) - (202) 225-6311 Rep. Jim Himes (Ct.) - (202) 225-5541 Rep. Hinojosa (Tex.) - (202) 225-2531 Rep. O'Rourke (Tex.) - (202) 225-4831 Rep. Peters (Calif.) - (202) 225-0508 Rep. Rice (N.Y.) - (202) 225-5516 Rep. Sewell (Ala.) - (202) 225-2665 If I were you, I would stop reading here, and start calling. However, if you want more of an explanation, then here it is. "Fast Track" is a bill that lets anything that the Trade Representative calls a "trade bill" slide through the House and Senate like a you-know-what through a goose, with no amendments, with no time for hearings, and with as little as 83 seconds of debate for each House Member. (For goodness sake, I know a lot of Members who can't even clear their throats in only 83 seconds.) A couple of weeks ago, fake trade supporters in the Senate bought enough Democratic votes to get past a filibuster. I have no idea what the real quid pro quo was, but the stated quid pro quo was that "trade assistance" (retraining support for who lose their jobs specifically because of a trade deal, and can prove it) would be included in the bill, and passed at the same time. So the Senate joined Fast Track and trade assistance at the hip. When it came up for a vote in the House last week, with the two joined together, the Fast Track part passed by an exceedingly close vote - 219 to 211. The Democrats listed above voted in favor of it. If only four of those Democrats had voted against it, then it would have failed on its own. But it failed anyway, because a huge majority of the House voted against the trade assistance part, meaning that the whole thing crashed and burned. Tomorrow, the Powers That Be are bringing back the Fast Track section on its own, without trade assistance, and thus contrary to what the Senate voted for. Their hope is that the House will pass Fast Track on its own, regardless of the workers who lose their jobs. And my hope is the opposite. That our calls with turn the tide, and defeat Fast Track once and for all. Call and say this: NO on Fast Track! You won't be the only one; I can guarantee it. One GOP Member of Congress told me last week that his calls were running 100-to-1 against Fast Track. We need to be that 100 tomorrow. Call a Member of Congress now, and say this: NO on Fast Track! Courage, Rep. Alan Grayson

The TRUTH will set you FREE.
