Are we to stand idly by while secret deals are reached with the White House that dismantle labor and environmental standards, and move jobs offshore?

And can anyone point out the benefits of granting this President 'fast track approval?'

I sure hope this is inaccurate, but I fear it is not.

1. well, that's pretty darned disappointing

What earthly (or unearthly) reason could there be for giving ANY president fast-track authority to "eliminate basic labor, human rights and environmental protections from trade pacts," least of all this one?

2. You got me! I would not give this President ANY authority to negotiate trade agreements...

make every one of them get the approval of Congress down to the last dotted 'i' and crossed 't.'

This is dangerous, and it will lead to further loss of American jobs and exploitation of foreign labor for corporate profits.
