9. Amazingly Kurt Schrader joins Pete DeFazio in opposing Fast Track!

Thu May 28, 2015, 03:50 PM

May 2015

Kurt Schrader's constituents should make a big effort to call and thank him for doing the right thing this time. Hope his motivations are right and not just trying to work against Obama.

I'm trying to work with insiders to put pressure on Suzanne Bonamici and Earl Blumenauer to do the right thing now though. They are good on most other issues. They are probably getting a lot of pressure from the likes of Nike, etc., but perhaps enough opposing pressure from the right places might change their minds too.
