Representative Ed Perlmutter has gone on the record to oppose Fast Track and how it threatens America's working families but now he's gone back on his words to support Fast Track. If we want don't want Fast Track to pass in the House we need to hold our representatives accountable to the public promises they make.

Fast Track gives officials in Washington the ability to negotiate as many trade agreements as they can in a given time period with no public transparency. Then, Congress isn’t allowed to change these trade agreements or even offer suggestions for improvement.

Our voice isn't being heard. Our elected officials won't have the opportunity to weigh in and make these trade deals work for the people building America--working families. No trade deal has ever been defeated under Fast Track procedures. And that means that working families will get hurt, since these bad deals will send jobs overseas, reduce the bargaining power of workers, jeopardize important environmental or health and safety regulations, and give global corporations even more influence over our economy.
