TPP passed the Senate! Urgent action needed today<<>> BY YOU !!!

TPP passed the Senate! Urgent action needed today<<>>by YOU!


Hey everyone. We’re down to our last line of defense in the fight against Fast Track and the Trans-Pacific Partnership. We’ve always known it’d come down to the House of Representatives, and now that we’re here we need to go big, fast. Take 2 minutes to contact your Representatives, then forward this e-mail to a friend and ask them to do the same.

This is our last chance to stop Fast Track. President Obama is certain to sign it if it reaches his desk, which means If we’re going to stop this it’s now or never.
If we stop Fast Track, we stop the TPP. It’s that simple. A TPP ministerial in Japan was already cancelled because your calls and emails have successfully delayed Fast Track so many times.
From the beginning we’ve known the fight was going to come down to a close vote in the House of Representatives — the question was how much momentum Fast Track would have when it got here.
Because of the action taken by people like you, it took multiple votes for Fast Track to clear the Senate, but now lobbyists that want the TPP bad are pulling out all the stops.

What we’ve done so far is working, but we could still lose everything if we don’t push hard right now.

This is a fight that we need to win. We can do it, but time is short, so please speak out today and forward this email to others who you think will take action.
For the Internet,

P.S. For one amazing day it was illegal for the US government to track Americans' phone calls. But yesterday afternoon, Congress passed the "USA Freedom Act" and turned mass spying back on. It's worth noting that some groups we respect are celebrating its passage as a win. We disagree, and we think it's important to explain why. Check out our statement here.
