The push to ram the TPP and TTIP down our throats isn’t over. They are hoping you aren’t paying attention.
You may have heard about the failed attempt to pass “Fast Track” authority for the TPP in the House on Friday, June 12th. The public applied pressure and they backed down. You may have assumed that we would have a few months of breathing room before they made another attempt. However it turns out that Congress isn’t even going to wait a full week for round two.
According to senator Jeff Sessions, there is upcoming vote on Tuesday June 16th, for a bill called the TAA. Hidden in the TAA is a provision which would grant the president fast-track authority on any and all trade agreements for a period of six years. This would inherently include the TPP, TTIP and TISA.
