Why isn't anyone talking about this more? House re-attempts to pass Fast Track today

If this passes the House, this is the last time the House will have any say on the TPP, since treaties are only handled by the Senate and the President, not to mention that this gives six years where not just TPP but other disastrous trade bills might be passed as well to further sell of your and other Americans' futures to the big corporations (and you won't be able to do anything about it because a treaty says so.)

President Obama and GOP leaders in both chambers are inching toward a deal to save the White House trade agenda.

Republican leaders announced the House will vote Thursday on giving Obama fast-track authority, less than a week after a failed vote left the president’s agenda in tatters.

Thanks for posting.

My rep is a true Democrat, but I should call Pelosi's number again. To thank her & ask she stay opposed to the take down of the Democratic process via TPA Fast Track.

If the TPP is so good, why do they need to fast track it past amendments & input from our Elected Representatives? Why do only corporations get to dictate what's in it??

Thanks for posting AZ Progressive. I hope more of us aren't ADD on this.
