There has been a lot of discussion here. Usually descended upon by a few who swear that this will help poor Vietnamese farmers or some such bullshit.
There are organizations fighting this, and Reid has admitted there is a big pushback, and wants to put off voting for it.

All I can do personally is emails, phone calls, and be solid with my decision to never again vote for any politician who voted for Fast track, votes for the TPP (and TIPI, etc. just as bad), or vote for any politician who shilled for the TPP.
