Trade promotion authority belongs to Congress

| July 8, 2021 1:00 AM

An open letter to Senators James Risch and Mike Crapo:

I recently contacted you asking you to oppose violating the Constitution by giving trade promotion authority to Mr. Biden. You, Mr. Risch, responded by saying that you strongly support trade. A good answer, but not to the issue at hand.

As you know TPA takes away power from the Congress and gives it to the executive branch. It will be used by a globalist to promote more globalism, undermining national sovereignty. Instead of saying that you support trade you should have said that you support undermining the Constitution which you took an oath to uphold and replacing it with global governance because that's what it is. You and Mr.Crapo are being very deceptive with your constituents.

Everyone supports trade. Only fools, socialists, fascists, communists, and globalists support undermining and destroying the greatest freedom document in the history of mankind, the U.S. Constitution. Something that may be of interest to Idaho voters, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez actually has a better voting record than either of our two senators. In the New American Freedom index, Ocasio-Cortez got a 45% while Senators Crapo and Risch earned a 20 and 30% respectively.
