Rep. Barbara Lee: You can support the President and still disagree on the TPA

I can't quote exactly but just now on CSPAN she stated he's a friend, he has done good things. You can think he's done a good job and disagree on a few things. That the TPA is not good and they need to go back to the drawing board.

I wish everyone would understand that you can disagree with some things and that doesn't mean we're haters or anything but we disagree on some things

Please call your representatives ASAP to fight against the TPA http://cms.fightforthefuture.org/stopfasttrack/

The only one that represents me that is saying they will vote against it is Jan Schakowsky. Unfortunately, Mike Quigley has stated he's against the TPP and TiSA but will vote for the TPA

about DU'ers with whom we usually agree. We can support each other "and still disagree on the TPA".

I hope beyond hope this fails today. I know that Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky is also voting against it and is trying to get Quigley and others to change their minds and vote no.

Thanks!

and thanks marym625. I'm still against it. And I still support the President. Thank you for your efforts in trying to defeat it.

Note on this link, which I'm repeating here. It provides a way to call your representative or email them. So, it's really easy. And if you also oppose it please contact them TODAY!

I love Fight for the Future. I have been posting them for months on this and net neutrality. Thanks for posting it and explaining how easy it is to use!

Watching CSPAN and I am encouraged by the people I am hearing. Except Ryan, of course
