[GPSCC-chat] Fwd: Don't let Fast Track steamroll science

Wed Jun 3 14:59:27 PDT 2015

This email from the Union of Concerned Scientists asks me to call 
Lofgren's office.   I have.  I also checked the latest info in the 
Mercury News and it lists both Lofgren and Honda as "undecided".  We 
should help them make up their minds.  Speier and Eshoo are listed as 
being against Fast Track.

Call and urge your representative to protect science-based safeguards.

*A Bad Deal for Science*

If the bill known as "Fast Track" passes, everything—from global warming 
emissions reductions, to drug safety protections, to fracking safety 
measures—could be at risk. Tell your member of Congress to vote "NO" on 
the Fast Track bill.

ACTION ALERT
Call and Urge Your Member of Congress to Protect Science-Based Safeguards

Dear Wesley,

Any day now, the House of Representatives will vote on a bill that could 
significantly undermine science-based safeguards we currently take for 
granted. Everything from global warming emissions reductions, to drug 
safety protections, to fracking safety measures could be at risk.

In the name of free trade, the bill known as "Fast Track" would block 
science's ability to inform policy making on countless issues that 
deeply effect our health and safety.

*Call now and tell Rep. Zoe Lofgren to vote "NO" on the Fast Track bill.

How can you be sure your dinner tonight is safe to eat? Or that the 
medicine you take won't hurt you? What about the children's toys your 
family will play with this weekend? If the Fast Track bill passes, it 
will be much harder for you to be sure you're making safe choices for 
your family. Multinational corporations such as Koch Industries, 
GlaxoSmithKline, and Dow Chemical will be able to secretly influence 
trade deals, avoid public or policy-maker review, and even sue countries 
that have public health and safety protections in place whenever the 
corporation feels those protections threaten their profits!

Your representative is facing intense pressure from corporations and 
President Obama to push Fast Track through. *Rep. Lofgren needs to hear 
from you today that the Fast Track bill puts the health and safety of 
people in your district at risk.

While international trade is important, there's no excuse for giving 
corporations a blank check to pursue profit at the expense of our 
health, safety, and environment—especially when trade steamrolls the 
role of science and transparency in our democracy.
