URGENT AGAIN – Another Senate Vote on Fast Track Today

On Tuesday, the Senate voted against taking up the "Fast Track" trade giveaway bill. Hooray! Every Republican expressed support, but every Democrat except Sen. Carper (D-Awful) voted against it. (Sens. Booker, Graham and Rubio missed the vote.) That left the Republicans eight votes short of the votes they needed to overcome a filibuster.

And yet today, only 48 hours later, they're at it again, bringing up "Fast Track" for another vote.

Maybe they think that they can wear us down. I don't think so.

Tell them "NO" on Fast Track! Call or e-mail - right now. Click here for a list of every Senator's telephone number and e-mail address. Find yours, and once again, MAKE THEM LISTEN.

Courage,

Rep. Alan Grayson

Yes on Enforcement (hahahahaha) and Customs Bill?
It appears...So far....
And the Wall Street Democrats Strike again, folks.
Hopefully the DSCC, DCCC, New Dem Coalition and Blue Dogs et al won't be surprised If turnout is even Worse in 2016. They still refuse to respond or even acknowledge the Reasons why people are Leaving the party and why those who remain won't Vote for Their candidates!
They've set it up, by intent, stupidity or accident, for the GOP to win even more in '16, imo.
