My influential Dem House Rep came out against "Fast Track" at a meeting last week. It's not that he opposes "Fast Track" though. He thinks the House can revise it to make it "better.". So the fight goes on even if the "FT" goes down....the thing is still there to be voted on Chapter by Chapter. The fight will go on...but, stopping "Fast Track" is the most important action we can take.

I just emailed my rep, but he opposes fast track, anyway. I don't know what he thinks about the TPP merrily May 2015 #19

Anyone who votes for this is not a Democrat and should leave the party imo. Enough with the kid sabrina 1 May 2015 #20
