1,000,000 Jobs Lost. 60,000 Factories Closed! We NEED Your Help! - (2/18/2015)

1,000,000 jobs lost. 60,000 factories closed. That’s been the devastating result of trade policies adopted under Fast Track. And, if you don’t act NOW to stop Fast Track on the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), that number will only grow.

The TPP is a massive, so-called "free trade" agreement currently being pushed by big corporations and negotiated behind closed doors by the United States and 11 other countries – Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, and Vietnam. It’s been described as NAFTA on steroids.

But, shockingly, under Fast Track, legislators cede their authority to have a say in agreements like the TPP. Fast Track forces Congress to take an up or down vote with no ability to amend. The result: no trade deal has ever been defeated under fast track procedures no matter how bad it is for wages, jobs, small business and the environment.

Please, contact your Representative today and ask them to say NO to Fast Track. Text TPP to 877877 to be connected to your Representative, or call toll free to 888-706-4535.

Thank you, and together we can beat back Fast Track.
