First, send the legislators who supported the fast track handcuffs a CITIZENS' SUMMONS to appear at a town meeting where you, not they, present the agenda. If the lawmakers think 500 or more determined people will show up, it is very likely they will relent and meet with you. The unions and other groups working to stop the TPP around the country can get their people to attend these town meetings. August is the congressional recess month. The senators and representative will have no excuse to avoid a town meeting with their constituents. For a list of those legislators who need to be focused on, visithttps://www.stopfasttrack.com/.
Second, hustle together some modest money from groups and individuals, rent an empty storefront, plaster the windows with large signs, and start a rumble of civic resistance in all directions. Politicians sometimes shrug off the warnings of losing contributions from unions. What politicians do fear is their inability to control groups of resurgent voters indeterminately expanding from inside their district or state.
Expecting to hear from you within hours.
Matt,
We saw what happened when we took action. Last week we saw a huge upset when we stalled Congress's attempt to pass Fast Track.
We have to keep the pressure up and make sure Congress opposes Fast Track.
Click here now to call your representative and demand a "no" vote on Fast Track today.
As expected, pro-Fast Track leaders are back at it. The House is set to vote once again, today, to try to move Fast Track forward.
There's been a lot of arm-twisting in Congress the last couple of days by House Republican leadership and corporate lobbyists—and they could turn the tide in their favor if we don't act now.
Stopping Fast Track means putting an end to the failed trade policies that have shipped jobs overseas, lowered wages and given more power to corporations and the 1 percent. We won last week and we can win again.
Call your representative now or dial 855-644-6813.
In Solidarity,
Chris
