Financial In Market Washington, DC: The Sierra Club today criticized Congress for voting in favor of "Fast Track", also known as Trade Promotion Authority, (H.R. 3005). With this extremely close vote, Congress surrenders its constitutional responsibility to set the course of U.S. trade policy. The Sierra Club opposed the bill because trade agreements increasingly threaten clean air, clean water and public lands both in America and around the world.

Compromises also settled conflicts over the issue of slavery. The delegates from the Northern states wanted Congress to have the power to forbid the foreign slave trade. Most Southern delegates did not wish Congress to have this power. A compromise decided that Congress would not be allowed to regulate the foreign slave trade until 1808. Another compromise involved the question of how to count slaves in determining how many members of Congress a state could have. Slaves were not considered citizens, fifths of a state's slaves could be counted.

Trading Of special concern to the Sierra Club is that this fast track bill could expand NAFTA-style corporate lawsuits to other nations. Under these rules, global corporations can sue U.S. taxpayers for huge sums of money if they believe America's hard-won environmental, health, and safety laws interfere with their profits.

Trading Financial System "Many Members of Congress showed tremendous courage in standing up to the corporate lobby in opposing fast track," continued Pope. "In the wake of this highly partisan vote that defied the will of the American people, our fair trade coalition emerged with significant momentum to ensure that future anti-environmental trade deals never become law. When our health, safety and clean environment are at stake, we should make sure that all sides are heard before we move ahead with these trade deals."
