the House killed TAA last friday but passed TPA, a revote is scheduled Today or tuesday
the reason the TPP is not on Obama's desk is because the house and senate versions are different, despite our small victory on friday this is the most critical part of the trade battle; this may be just a repeat of the senate vote that blocked the TPA last month, just as with the first vote, we need to call our congress critters and pressure them into voting NO to any revote of the TAA
