"Obama to Double Down on Fast Track Push Following SOTU"--Here We Go Again...

[KoKo]

17. In meeting with my long time "wired in" House Rep

where 5 Dem Interest/Labor/Legal, etc met with him (This was headed by Communications Workers of America, Food & Water Watch, AfL-CIO, Postal Union Workers of America, Common Cause, Alliance for Retired Citizens) and a couple more I can't remember now.

They met with David Price of NC who is considered a Liberal Darling here in NC. These are groups with thousands who have signed petitions, paid for Lobbyists up on "the Hill" and been vocal about the TPP for years.

Price said that the "Current Face Track is Flawed" but would have to be used because you cannot have changes to a Trade Agreement argued on the House Floor. (??????) But, be assured that he will make every effort to make sure that Worker Rights and Environmental Laws, Food Safety would be protected in the TPP. (?????)

The groups there were NOT PLEASED. Meaning Price (a long time So-Called Lib Dem) has caved on it. WHY is what I wonder because he doesn't live a High Life.....and is long time "old Dem." But, he has disappointed us in the past 14 years by holding Town Meetings where he always listens to us...but, his answer is always "We can put fixes into this legislation after it passes." That has not happened.

So...if anyone here is represented by David Price....be sure to make your opposition to the TPP KNOWN. But, believe me, he's probably not going to do much about it because obviously...even the Non-Dino Dems want the TPP Passed.

That he had big organization Reps there and he still supports the TPP with "fixes" is all one needs to know.
