FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda 
Print FriendlyOur pressure is working!
Obama wanted Fast Track for the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) by the end of March but the largest coalition to ever work to oppose Fast Track has made that impossible. Through phone calls, emails, visits to members, rallies, bird-dogging and more, Congress is feeling the heat and struggling to get votes.

The opposition is working hard too. President Obama is personally calling members of Congress and his staff are twisting arms and making promises to get votes for Fast Track. The Chamber of Commerce launched a $160 million ad campaign in favor of Fast Track. The Senate passed a version of Fast Track and now it is headed to the House for a vote. We must stop it there!
We’ve got to increase and maintain the pressure over the next few months or else members of Congress will cave in.
Right now, we are working with many groups to insist that the US Trade Representative release a copy of the text of the Trans-Pacific Partnership to Congress and to the public. We have the right to know what is being negotiated in our names and how it will impact our lives.
Sign the petition below to send an email directly to the US Trade Representative:
Here are more ways that you can fight back:
1. Join the weekly “Fast Track Resistance” National Calls – starting on Wednesday, March 11 at 9 pm Eastern/6 pm Pacific, we’ll host weekly education and organizing calls to teach about Fast Track and the TPP, provide legislative updates and organize specific actions. Click here for the schedule of topics and speakers. We’ll have activists on hand to facilitate break-out groups where you’ll learn how to organize teach-ins, do visibility actions, use social media to have an impact and reach legislators with your message. The first call is titled “The Fast Track to Global Corporate Rule.” You must register for the call. CLICK HERE TO REGISTER.
2. Join the Rapid Response Team – you’ve probably seen some of us ‘dropping in and hanging out’ in Sen. Wyden’s office over the past 2 weeks. It has had an effect but we understand that Sen. Wyden is trying to make a deal with Sen. Hatch to support Fast Track legislation. We’ve got to stop him from from doing that. Contact [email protected].
We’re planning a prolonged presence in Washington, DC starting on April 14. Join us!
3. Drive phone calls and emails to Congress! In early 2014, we stopped fast track in part by generating hundreds of thousands of emails and phone calls to Congress. We must do that again. Use StopFastTrack.com to make it easy to do. Spread the word!
4. Find and post local actions here.
Finally, we’re brought in more organizers to help fight back during this crucial time. We need your support.

This is a huge battle. It’s the people versus the transnational corporations and big finance. If Fast Track passes in Congress, it won’t just allow passage of the TPP (which is bad enough) but it will mean 7 years of Presidents being able to negotiate agreements and sign them in secret. It will allow corporations to have more power than individual nations and end our ability to protect our human needs.
This is not about trade. It’s about our future. Now is the time for heroic defense of all that we value – our communities, our health, our families and protection of the planet.
Fast Track is truly a game changer. It will affect everything we care about. Please pledge to join us for the next few months to stop it.
Just as we did with net neutrality, people power can prevail if we use it.
