The fight against fast track for the TPP trade agreement moves to the U.S. House after the Memorial Day break. Labor continued it’s opposition to TPP fast track over the Memorial Day weekend, targeting some Democratic House members who support fast track. Labor and its allies on this issue are urging members of the House to stand with working people against fast track which would lead to “undemocratic trade deals that lower wages and eliminate jobs.”

1. vote them out

Any and all democrats that support fast track or TPP need to be primaried and voted out of office. Even if only one loses it will send message and I am sure a message that will be heard loud and clear, these politicians need to be made to understand they represent we the people, and not these corporations and that these corporations are not patriotic to any country.

2. What House Democrats support TPP and Fast Track?

My representative is Nancy Pelosi. I'll email and fax her to say no to Fast Track and the TPP, but I'd like to know which Democrats in the House support it. I'm sure she has her whip list, but I'd like to emphasize who's arm needs twisting.

I've tried googling and I've looked in Daily Kos, but so far, I've turned up nothing.

Can anyone point me towards House Democrats that support TPP and Fast Track?

It's better to expose and work on them before the vote, instead of posting a Wall of Shame afterwards, when it's too late.

7. So China is threatening fighting us with military defense.

And it was a good idea to move all our factories to China??????

You know Washington is going to back down cause without China, they can't make weapons.

[Dont call me Shirley]

4. Call your politicians now and keep calling to oppose these horrid "trade" deals (corporate coup)

Every call you make to your Reps, Sens and WH is worth 4,000 constituents voices, so call.
