Does anyone know how to find out how much a senator has made for this vote, if they're not on the list? I know my senators voted to pass it, but for some reason, their name is not on the list, and I'm sure they didn't do it for free? I wanted to put it on their facebook pages because everyones asking, but they're not telling.
This is the most important issue for most Americans economic well being. And no one cares much. At least NAFTA was debated widely and that was before we knew for certain the damage it would do. Now, no cares that we are getting super-NAFTA lol.
I can expect Republicans to support TPP, but for Obama and some Democrats too as well, just shows the latter only cause is the complete destruction of the US and middle class.
This is why we need Bernie Sanders in the White House. A man who for decades have fought for the rights of the American middle class and against corporate takeover of the economy and the government. Sanders does not take campaign contributions from corporations, instead relying on a grass roots democratic movement that will stand up to the billionaire class and say; enough is enough. The American people are seeing their democratic rights hijacked by interests who couldnt care less about America and American workers.
Public financing of political campaigns and the reversal of the Citizens United Supreme Court decision is the way to go. That's why Bernie Sanders should be the next president IMO.

It's all about keeping the elites in power. I think people should stop worrying about the confederate flag and who gets married.....
Americans are being sold down the river and no one is going to do anything about it.
Susan Collins voted against it.
Note that five Republicans voted against Wall Street and against ending debate and fast-tracking Fast Track: Sens. Susan Collins (Maine), Richard Shelby (Ala.), Jeff Sessions (Ala.), Mike Lee (Utah) and Rand Paul (Ky.). http://ourfuture.org/20150521/these-...ugh-the-senate
Thank goodness people with money and influence realize that trade lets us get more for what we produce, pay less for what we consume, and makes the whole world and America richer.
Opponents either do not understand the economics of trade, or represent some interest group that benefits from restrictions on trade.
President Obama, for once in his presidency, has taken action that will help the country. It is amazing, the people on the fringe right that are climbing into bed with Liz Warren and Bernie Sanders and the other anti-prosperity Democrats that oppose the president on free trade.

Corporations suing democratically elected governments who want to protect their people from poisonous products and environmentally damaging practices have nothing to do with free trade. These free trade agreements just use "free trade" to pull the wool over people's eyes. Its about multinational corporations increasing their influence over society at the expense of the people and democracy.
