'Momentum on our side' in trade fight, declares Sherrod Brown

[n2doc]

A top Democratic opponent of President Obama’s trade agenda on Wednesday said a failed procedural vote in the Senate has shifted the momentum into his camp.

Sen. Sherrod Brown (Ohio), a member of the Senate Finance Committee who is vehemently opposed to fast-tracking trade deals as well as the policy direction of an Asia-Pacific pact, said lawmakers are responding to the call to halt trade agreements that would hurt U.S. workers.

“The momentum is on our side. The call to protect American workers and businesses from another NAFTA-style trade deal is being heard,” Brown wrote in an email to supporters.

"Let’s keep the momentum going," he said while urging supporters to sign a petition against the trade agenda.

Brown is playing his political horn to myopic constituents.
