We won a temporary victory over the asshole that you worked so hard and spent so much money to get elected twice. It would have been so much easier to just not put him in office in the first place, don't you think? And by the way, fuck you.

Dear MoveOn member,
Last Friday, we won a temporary victory against Fast Track—a bill that would give corporations even more power, while hurting jobs, consumers, the environment, and financial regulations.
Now, House Republicans are calling for a do-over vote—and THIS MORNING they are going to try to pass Fast Track once again.1
We won on Friday because millions of Americans joined together with labor unions, environmental organizations, and consumer groups to send a message—and Democrats listened. Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi spoke forcefully against Fast Track, arguing, "Whatever the deal with other countries, we want a better deal for American workers."2
Rep. Pelosi will be key in today's vote—holding together Democrats against enormous pressure from corporate lobbyists and, unfortunately, the White House. So can you urge Rep. Pelosi to stand strong by sharing her very words far and wide?
Can you share this message on Facebook and share it over Twitter—reminding Rep. Pelosi to stay true to her own words?
Today's Fast Track is even worse than it was last Friday, because it's no longer part of a package that includes other measures to help workers hurt by corporate trade deals.
Rep. Pelosi needs to stand by her own words—and lead the Democratic caucus in stopping Fast Track again.
Thanks for all you do.–Justin K., Stephen, Joan, Bobby, and the rest of the team
