Obama does whatever he feels like Ted. He makes his own laws out of thin air.

Looks like theater to me. A better idea might be to defeat fast track in the name of not buying a pig in a poke.

So Obama and the globalists can’t bankrupt an industry in a particular region in a Asian or Latin country sending a wave of illegals.

An amendment like this is needed. Because as it stands now it's the worse bill ever. And what about the UN overriding of U.S gun laws and the empowering Obama giving him fast track authority on trade. I think Congress and the people should vote on any trade deal and it should not be handled soley by an anti-American communist dictator named Obama

Here it is the TPP:

Worst bill ever imo:

The controversial TPP, of course, is disguised as a treaty to promote “free trade” — more properly described as managed or corporatist trade — among nations surrounding the Pacific. However, the TPP agreement, currently being negotiated behind closed doors by governments, dictatorships, and special interests, includes some major surprises. As The New American reported recently, a leaked chapter of the TPP deal would create NAFTA-style international “tribunals” with the purported authority to override American laws, courts, and even the U.S. and state constitutions — all for the benefit of special interests, foreigners, and crony capitalists. The American people and self-government would be the big losers.

Another chapter of the agreement making headlines this week, meanwhile, purports to regulate immigration policies among TPP signatories. “The Trans-Pacific Partnership includes an entire chapter on immigration,” observed Curtis Ellis, executive director of the American Jobs Alliance, in a post for The Hill. “It is a Trojan horse for Obama’s immigration agenda. House members who were ready to defund the Department of Homeland Security to stop President Obama’s executive action on immigration must not give him TPA, which he will use to ensure his immigration actions are locked in when he leaves office.”

Cruz is basically saying to Obama “Prove that you are not a traitorous liar.” Game, set to Cruz.

McConnell has already slipped the knife into America and revived the trade bill in the senate.

With real presidents, like Reagan, you knew the man’s word was his bond. You didn’t need to get it in writing.

With the usurper, even having it is written law does no good. Obama will do anything to grab more power, and not enough people in Congress are willing to stop him.

Thank you, Vin for posting this.

Before seeing your thread, I've posted it in the thread below to counteract a bunch of people who came out of the woodwork to try to destroy Ted Cruz.

Thank you so much for posting this. I have been reading everything I can reference on TPA. This seems to be the biggest objection by those opposing, so hopefully, this amendment will be adopted. Cruz seems to be supporting this bill because of the importance of exports to the Texas economy. I have found a number of sources that have said that this bill does not give any power to the President that he doesn’t already have, it just makes the completion of trade deals faster. Congress still has full oversite and approval. These references also say that this does not in any way change immigration laws or the regulations concerning visas.

Yet he supports the core legislation that is fast track, ceding the role of Congress to POTUS.

Congress would be allowed ONLY an up or down vote (50%+1) AS TO WHETHER THIS WOULD BECOME THE LAW OF THE LAND, superseding the Constitution as all treaties do.

Anyone who votes for this legislation is a traitor to the American people, Ted Cruz included.
