<br />
Every day the coalition of groups opposing Fast Track and the TPP grows bigger, representing a vast array of people, groups, and specific issues.<br />
<br />
Yesterday, activists held a noontime rally outside the Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel, braving cold and blizzard warnings. They called the TPP a “Death Pact,” emphasizing its <a href="http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=QJiOCzX3RyVqEPBYwNAdLLvKWQDzDbNu">impact on access to affordable life-saving medicine and healthcare</a>.<br />
<br />
It was only recently announced that this would be the last round of secretive talks before trade ministers and heads of state takeover to finesse the final details. Bravo to the organizers and participants who rallied so quickly!<br />
<br />
And only a few days ago, we learned that Michael Froman, the President’s Trade Representative leading these secretive talks, will testify today before the  <a href="http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=nPp4DRqQp6OfiOHwsUrKGrvKWQDzDbNu">Senate Finance Committee</a> and the House Committee on Ways and Means. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 0);"><b>So, today, please take these three quick actions: </b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 0);"><b>First</b></span>, call <a href="http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=hlLTe2bz4vtvNYZPbjQC8bvKWQDzDbNu">Sen. Orrin Hatch</a> and <a href="http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=nOtqJvTwCtqB4HwiIjWBsbvKWQDzDbNu">Sen. Ron Wyden</a> to say we do not need a new and better Fast Track—or any Fast Track.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 0);"><b>Second,</b></span> check this list of <a href="http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=m6U5YbJfWbanAuHoleuBRrvKWQDzDbNu">Senate Finance Committee members</a>. If your Senator is on the committee tell him/her that you don’t want Congress to give away their constitutional duty to oversee trade with foreign nations. Congress should refuse to grant Fast Track to ensure the TPP represents the view of the people, not the interests of the president and the corporations who secretly negotiated it. Remember, under Fast Track there is only 20 hours of debate, no committee hearings and no amendments. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 0);"><b>Finally, </b></span>call your Congressional Representative with the same message. Find his/her D.C. office number <a href="http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=QgxnJ8HwvFlBgLRVTN0bP7vKWQDzDbNu">here</a> and send an email <a href="http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=x8Mok2PdJyL3fePUXfZK1LvKWQDzDbNu">here</a>.</span></font></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size: medium;">Thanks so much for taking the time to make calls and send an email. <br />
<br />
From Feb. 13 – 21, there will be days of action as well, when Congress takes a Presidents’ Day recess. Stay tuned for more information on national and local actions. <br />
