Call Your Representative Today and Demand a Commitment to Oppose Fast Track Trade Authority Your Representative Needs to Know Your Thoughts on This Sneaky Mechanism that Would Force TPP into Reality The usual pack of corporate lobbyists and their hired hands in Congress want to slam us with the biggest so–called free trade pact ever, the Trans–Pacific Partnership (TPP). They want to railroad through this devastating deal using an extreme procedure called Fast Track trade authority. Fast Track would prevent members of Congress from even amending provisions that work against working families. The TPP threatens to offshore more American jobs, flood us with food that doesn’t meet our safety standards, and hike up the prices on our medicines. TPP boosters see Fast Track as the quickest ticket to making the TPP a reality: it leaves Congress with just two choices — vote for every word of a massive trade agreement negotiated in secret, or reject it entirely. Congress can’t make any changes to the TPP once Fast Track is in place. To put it simply: the key to stopping the TPP is stopping Fast Track. Fast Track procedures can only be used if a majority in Congress agrees. Your representative needs to know why it’s vital to oppose the Fast Track scam. And it is quick and easy.
