Congressional Rep. Schneider - STOP Fast Track on TPP

The White House and the U.S. Trade Representative are urging Congress to abdicate its power over approval of trade agreements by renewing "fast track" authority. Fast track would allow the controversial Trans-Pacific Partnership to leapfrog customary legislative protocol and be put to a rapid "up or down" vote without a public hearing, floor debate, or amendments. Forcing Congress to vote on an agreement this complex without adequate time for open hearings, review, and public scrutiny, sets a dangerous precedent. REP. SCHNEIDER, WE URGE YOU TO VOTE NO ON FAST TRACK TPA. DON'T FAST TRACK THE TRANS-PACIFIC-PARTNERSHIP TRADE DEAL (TPP). REPRESENT US.
