vote one way or the other? Do you KNOW that they will NOT be allowed to add amendments or take out anything that is BAD FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE?
So what were you saying? They can READ IT and just VOTE? That is not the role of Congress.
Please stop defending this, it is indefensible to take away or for Congress to GIVE away, the powers they swore to exercise on behalf of the American people.
We have Corps writing our HC bills, we have Monsanto writing our food labeling bills.
Why do we bother with a Congress at all anymore?
NOW we have Foreign Corporations writing our laws and an outrageous denial of access to what THEY are writing for YEARS.
If Wikileaks didn't provide us with those leaks the people would still know NOTHING about what Foreign Corps are setting up for us.
IF you want to live in a country where the people you elect are not allowed to represent you, I'm sure there are a few of them around. But THIS one is not going to give up those rights without a huge fight.
Bush tried this, in 2007 and Democrats rightly voted against it AND some more intelligent Republicans.
It is hypocritical for any DEMOCRAT to support this after all the arguments they made against it then.
And that power if they do give it to the Executive Branch will last for six yearsl.
So even if you trust this president with it, he will have it for only one year, and what if Kruz ends up with that kind of power?
I will be calling my Reps again this week to make sure they know if they vote for this, we will be out working against them as soon as possible.
More than 65% of the American people DO NOT WANT THIS. THAT is what should matter in a Democracy.
