What Ryan is trying to convince House Republicans to do is vote for Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) which would fast-track at least three highly secretive trade deals—specifically the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), the Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA), and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (T-TIP)—and potentially more deals.

I know that I am calling and telling the congress thing that I may have influence over to vote against giving a lame duck mrobama any more power . This free trade agreement is much more than just 'free trade' authority . From what I hear and read once this thing passes there is no going back or rewriting it . No reason to give mrobama , a lame duck that has about a year and a half left to rule have this power as he is leaving . Think that the vote happens tomorrow !!
