Friends,
We just got word that your Representative, Scott Peters, might side with the fossil fuel industry by voting to fast track the Trans-Pacific Partnership -- a massive trade deal that would threaten our climate, workers' rights, and internet freedom. As if this wasn't enough, yesterday climate deniers in the house added language to the bill that makes it even worse! It's a handout to fossil fuel companies that forbids U.S. negotiators from ever addressing climate change in a trade deal. This new language might win over a couple of votes on the far right, but we hope it'll lose many more in the center and on the left who take climate change seriously.
The vote on the TPP is expected to happen tomorrow, and it will be decided by a razor-thin margin. Rep. Peters's vote could help decide whether the TPP moves forward, or dies in Congress. Can you call him to say that you expect him to vote NO on fast tracking the TPP?

Representatives who are on the fence about major legislation like this often use feedback from their constituents to make a final decision. Rep. Peters is under immense pressure from corporate lobbyists to give in on fast track, so it's up to us to push right back.
The TPP would allow multinational fossil fuel corporations to sue governments that take action on climate change. Instead of keeping fossil fuels in the ground, it would make it easier to dig them up.
Every vote will count when it comes to the TPP -- which also means every call will count. Can you call Rep. Peters now and tell them to vote no on fast tracking the TPP? Click here to call.
With many thanks,
Jason
The TRUTH will set you FREE.
