Ways & Means Chair Paul Ryan is pushing hard for a House vote right after the Memorial Day Recess in early June. The good news is that <b class=""><i class="">he doesn’t have the votes to pass it.</i></b> Our job is to keep it that way.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I’m writing to ask your organization to participate in a <a href="https://docs.google.com/a/citizenstrade.org/forms/d/1lu-Fa8YRP7DDU3og2-81u8jnHuc6vejyN9h4tk1sKf0/viewform" class=""><b class="">coordinated national call-in day on Wednesday, June 3</b></a>, during which we will flood the House with constituent phone calls urging their opposition to Fast Track. Leading online groups, as well as labor, environmental, consumer, digital rights organizations, are already on board. With your help, it will be a phenomenal success.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Please <a href="https://docs.google.com/a/citizenstrade.org/forms/d/1lu-Fa8YRP7DDU3og2-81u8jnHuc6vejyN9h4tk1sKf0/viewform" class=""><b class="">sign up to participate using this webform</b></a> and we’ll send you toolkit next week with template email blasts you can send to your supporters; social media memes; and call-in number and online calling options. Even if you prefer to use your own calling tools and to draft your own alert, please still <a href="https://docs.google.com/a/citizenstrade.org/forms/d/1lu-Fa8YRP7DDU3og2-81u8jnHuc6vejyN9h4tk1sKf0/viewform" class="">RSVP</a> so that we can track your participation.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">If we’re successful getting through the first week of June without a vote, expect Fast Track proponents to try bringing it up again and again in the coming months. We will need your continued support to stay them off until the August recess — but it is critical that Congress members are slammed with a tidal wave of Fast Track opposition when then return in June and that we defeat their current attempt to bring it to the House floor. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><a href="https://docs.google.com/a/citizenstrade.org/forms/d/1lu-Fa8YRP7DDU3og2-81u8jnHuc6vejyN9h4tk1sKf0/viewform" class=""><b class="">Please click here to participate in the June 3rd call-in day to defeat Fast Track.</b></a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Many thanks, </div><div class=""><br class=""><div apple-content-edited="true" class=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; orphans: 2; widows: 2; border-spacing: 0px;"><div class="" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;"><div class="">Arthur Stamoulis, Executive Director</div><div class="">Citizens Trade Campaign</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Online: <a href="http://www.citizenstrade.org" class="">citizenstrade.org</a></div><div class="">Twitter: <a href="http://www.twitter.com/citizenstrade" class="">@citizenstrade</a></div></div></span></span></div></div></body></html>
