Am always on my phone. Never connect my computers to the net any more. Have seen mention of 12 countries, but have never seen the list of the countries. My guess is the actual motives of this can be determined when the 12 countries are known. With Obama running the show, my guess would be Iran, Saudi Arabia, China, Indonesia, Vietnam, etc. It violates National Security to not even know the 12 countries involved.

That's where it seems like a lot of confusion and angst comes from...too many are confusing TPA with the TPP and they are DIFFERENT BILLS.
FACT#1: TPA is the trade authority process. It does NOT include any trade agreement. What this 114 page bill does is lay out the process that a President must follow to both negotiate and seek approval for a trade agreement. Part of that process is on page 85 of the bill text, requiring the administration to make any trade agreement public and posted online for 60 days before the President can agree to it. Thats also long before Congress actually votes on whether to accept it. Not only will this give Congress oversight, but it gives you all the opportunity to evaluate the proposed trade agreement as well. FULL TEXT HERE: http://1.usa.gov/1KqnWoa
Fact #2: Once TPA is approved, Congress has the power to stop TPP and other Fast Track Authorities (FTAs). TPA includes new language that the House or Senate can withdraw or override the expedited procedures for trade implementing bills or fast-track rules for various reasons if they disapprove. For the first time, the House has a new authority to strip TPA for a particular agreement even without having to get the Senate to concur. The House maintains full control over whether a trade agreement followed the guidelines and, thus, whether it maintains TPA protections.

I understand your point. But I specifically know they have folks that read and sort email and catalog the sentiments and report that “score” to the representative they work for.
I know because I knew somebody who did that for Rep Pete Knight.
