Again, call, write, email, tweet your congressman whether REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT.
All the NAY votes possible are necessary
Sessions and Cruz are on opposite sides of this issue...It certainly undermines the sovereignty of the United States...
It is getting worse by the revelation. Thank you Cruz, Rubio, and all but five of the Republican senators.
Everybody please light up the phone of your representative in the House.

Let them know voting for the TPA to give special powers to Obama is a complete deal breaker and you will not support any Republican if they vote for it. Or just general scream a lot, your choice.

I am contacting you because I believe any vote for the TPA would be a DISGUSTING betrayal of the American people. Republican leadership even calling for a vote is incomprehensible. This is what we volunteered for and donated for to get more Republican control of Congress??!!!!
In one breath Republicans tell us over and over again that Obama cannot be trusted. Then you and other leaders want to vote to give him Special Powers and take away powers from Congress to Obama’s benefit!!!
TPA takes the 2/3 vote for a treaty away from the Senate (Don’t tell me it’s not a treaty. We are already hearing this SECRET TPP is going to do FAR more than any trade bill ever has before).
TPA takes the 60-vote cloture away from the Senate to pass the TPP. Why would you give this to Obama??!!
Voting for the TPA takes away any member of Congress’ right to offer amendments to the TPP that Obama gets to negotiate in SECRET.
I could go on, but you get the point. It is INEXCUSABLE and UNACCEPTABLE for Republicans to support the TPA or even call for a vote. Any person voting for this disgusting legislation should never be allowed to stay in office, go to a higher office, or even not be reminded daily that they BETRAYED us.
This Obamatrade (TPA) is just like Obamacare and we will never forget this. Please do the decent thing and do not support a vote for the TPA. It is a complete betrayal of our country and what the Republican party claims to care about.
Do we know which of the Republican representatives plan to vote for this?
Glenn Beck had Dave Brat on today and he went in the sealed hyperbaric chamber to read the text. He said he didn’t see anything in it that needed to be a secret. He’s a no vote.
Keeping this from public view is reprehensible, repugnant and anathema to open governance.

Education is the first step.
There are two sides to opposing this bill.
The first one (and the one that REAL conservatives will oppose it on) is the secrecy of the deal. Cruz addresses this point and opposes the secrecy.
But those of you siding with the Union Thugs opposing this because of “free trade” need to go back to Economics class. Reagan was for Free Trade and Free Trade creates jobs and opportunities for American workers and companies abroad. Some want to blame “free trade” as if the burdensome Corporations Taxes and other Regulations that drive companies out of the US doesn’t have any roll. Take Free Trade and add a President willing to cut taxes and burdensome regulations and you have Reagan of the 80’s.
It’s no surprise Walker supports TPA either (I haven’t heard a stance from him on TPP) given his history of taking on the Union Thugs in WI since they are vehemently opposed to it.
Add an amendment to eliminate the secrecy in TPP (Oh wait, Cruz tried to do that and got shot down). Well, let the House add it and force a vote from Senate on it.
Watching Cruz answer this, I see nothing that leads me to believe he is a traitor or someone I couldn’t trust. I see a logical and reasoned answer that was without spin to the questions ask.
You got a problem with Cruz? Ask him your loaded questions at the next event he’s at. I’m sure he’ll answer you because he doesn’t back down, provided you’re respectful. Now try doing that with Clinton or one of the other candidates, you’ll be hauled out in cuffs, while Ted will buy you a beer.
I heard Dave Brat on a Boston conservative radio talk show this afternoon.
He said this is actually a Trans-Pacific Commission.....
a commission with the authority to issue it’s own rules and edicts.
If this passes, we have been sold out big time.
Jeff Sessions. I love my Senator. A true Christian, southern, gentleman. I wish the stinking Senate had 99 more like him. And 400+ in the House would be nice also. Unfortunately, we have the likes of stinking McCain and his ilk.
Looks like Ryan is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Sessions is a good man - glad he’s there fighting for Americans...
Remember that everyone else will remember the day Senator Sessions called him and another 61 Senators into account, and they did not stop.
This is a High Crime against the Republic.
We have crossed the Rubicon and there's no way back.
Thank you xzins, great and informative post.
May God richly bless Senator Jeff Sessions, and Breitbart News, and all the others who have done such a yoeman’s job of exposing this anti-American, unconstitutional TPA/TPP atrocity. Pray that the trans-nationalist train derails in Congress.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this deal makes Obama “president for life”. And the gopE know it.
Transnational Progressivism
Yes, he was on Rush’s show yesterday with Eric.
