UPDATE: Despite fierce opposition by Oregonians, Senator Wyden followed Representative Paul Ryan (R-WI) and Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT) in cosponsoring Fast Track legislation virtually identical to last year’s failed Camp-Baucus-Hatch bill. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

“Senator Ron Wyden repeatedly promised to fight for Oregonians\u2019 access to trade policy proposals that will impact their jobs, their wages and their quality of life. \u00a0Not only has he failed to do that, he\u2019s just signed off on legislation that would make transparency in trade negotiations qualitatively worse,” said Elizabeth Swager, director of the Oregon Fair Trade Campaign.\u00a0 “This is a betrayal of Oregon\u2019s working families and of democratic policymaking, and Oregonians won\u2019t stand for it.”<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) is currently deciding whether to join Republicans in cosponsoring\u00a0“Fast Track”<\/a>\u00a0legislation that would allowing pending trade agreements like the\u00a0Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP<\/a>) to be rushed through Congress, circumventing ordinary review, amendment and debate procedures.<\/p>\n

Modern trade agreements affect far more than just traditional “trade” matters such as tariffs and quotas. \u00a0The TPP is a proposed 12-nation pact that would set rules governing approximately 40% of the global economy. \u00a0It’s 29 separate chapters\u00a0could adversely\u00a0impact jobs and wages; access to medicine; environmental protections; food safety standards; financial regulations; public procurement preferences; and more. \u00a0The TPP\u00a0needs to be carefully reviewed and debated, not given a Fast Track rubber stamp.<\/p>\n

Hundreds of organizations<\/a>\u00a0have written to Senator Wyden urging that he oppose Fast Track for the TPP, and instead support a democratic and accountable trade policy-making process. \u00a0A\u00a0recent public opinion\u00a0poll<\/a>\u00a0shows that 73% of Oregonians also oppose Fast Track legislation.<\/p>\n

Senator Wyden is the highest-ranking Democratic Senator in the country when it comes to overseeing trade policy, so his position on this issue matters. \u00a0In 2014, after considerable pressure from\u00a0Oregonians and people throughout the world, he opposed Fast Track legislation. \u00a0We want him to oppose Fast Track again this year.<\/p>\n

Please call Senator Wyden at (866) 502-6055 and urge him to oppose Fast Track for the TPP.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
