Fast Track Returns to the Senate

As we suspected might happen, the ten Democrats who supported Fast Track Trade Authority (FTTA) got a small concession and are likely to switch their votes to supporting the bill.  The vote in the Senate is expected next week.

While Senators Warren and Markey oppose FTTA, a last ditch effort to tell your friends in other states to urge their Senators to oppose is needed. If they need convincing, point them here.

Thankfully, its chance of passage in the House is less sure and every vote counts.

Now is the time to tell your Congressperson that they should oppose Fast Track. To find out who represents you in the House of Representatives, please visit Where Do I Vote MA and enter your address.
