I've already talked to some people to perhaps put forth and pass a motion to say no to Fast Track authority, like we did in Washington County a couple of weeks ago...

Given that Boehner wants to bring Fast Track to a vote on Friday, if we can have a show of force to hopefully get both Susan Bonamici and Earl Blumenauer to vote against this, we can perhaps make a difference there in getting a similar motion passed as well and hopefully it will be delivered the next day on Friday morning to Oregon's delegation to remind them who they work for! US!

Note on the above page of the 18 Dems looking to vote for Fast Track, there are only three pols that don't have "New Dem" or "Blue Dog" next to their name. Guess who two of those three are!
Also note on this letter earlier sent indicating Dems wouldn't support Fast Track, Kurt Schrader's name is on this petition, even though he's listed as one of the 18 dems above too. Perhaps some pressure could be applied his direction too if he switched earlier...

Maybe someone of the press could show up and help magnify us sending this sort of message there too.
If we could switch the number of Dem votes in the House from 18 to 15 (and I might argue that Oregon as a state perhaps has the best opportunity to do this!), we might help stop this crazy thing!
