Thank These Democrats for Supporting TPA

Today, the President signed both TPA and TAA. 

Thanks to all of you who put the hard work in to get us to this point.  If you can, and if you haven't already,  please take a few minutes today to thank all of these courageous Senators and Members of the House who took a tough vote (or two!) and voted for TPA:

The Senate - these 13 couragegous Senators voted for final passage: Michael Bennet, Tom Carper, Chris Coons, Maria Cantwell, Dianne Feinstein, Heidi Heitkamp, Tim Kaine, Claire McCaskill, Patty Murray, Bill Nelson, Jeanne Shaheen, Mark Warner, and Ron Wyden.

The House - These 28 courageos Members of the House voted for final passage of TPA: Brad Ashford (NE-2), Ami Bera (CA-7), Don Beyer (VA-8), Earl Blumenauer (OR-3), Suzanne Bonamici (OR-1), Gerry Connolly (VA-11), Jim Costa (CA-16), Jim Cooper (TN-5), Henry Cuellar (TX-28), Susan Davis (CA-53), John Delaney (MD-6), Suzan DelBene (WA-1), Sam Farr (CA-20), Ruben Hinojosa (TX-15),  Jim Himes (CT-4), Eddie Bernice Johnson (TX-30), Derek Kilmer (WA-6), Rick Larsen (WA-2), Ron Kind (WI-3), Gregory Meeks (NY-5), Beto O'Rourke (TX-16), Scott Peters (CA-52), Jared Polis (CO-2), Mike Quigley (IL-5), Kathleen Rice (NY-1),  Kurt Schrader (OR-5), Debbie-Wasserman Schultz (FL-23), Terri Sewell (AL-7).

There are many ways to thank these members, but the easiest is just to call the congressional switchboard at 202 224-3121, ask to speak to their office and then let their receptionist know that you are grateful for their courage and support of TPA . 

With TPA now the law of the land, we are already looking ahead to the campaign to pass TPP when it is finalized in the weeks ahead.    We will back in touch with you as this effort gears up this fall.
