Received this e-mail today from Rep. Donna Edwards' (D. MD) U.S. Senate campaign. Edwards has been a fierce opponent of the TPP and now she's highlighting a key part of the trade deal:
Fast Track and TPP just got a whole lot worse. Republicans have added $700 million in cuts to Medicare to pay for the trade adjustment assistance.
We need your voice now to get them to back down.
Add your name and tell the Senate to say no to Fast Track and the cuts to Medicare.

The more the public learns about the wheeling and dealing done to get Fast Track and the TPP passed the worse it looks. And that doesn’t even include the the awful corporate and special interest giveaways inside the actual trade deal!
The Senate can vote no and stand up for our workers and most vulnerable citizens. We don't have to pit Americans on Medicare against our workers. Will you stand with me to tell the Senate to do what is right?
We only have a short time before the Senate votes again on this deal -- add your name and tell the Senate to remove Medicare cuts and vote no on Fast Track.

Thanks for standing with me in this fight,
Donna
