The US Constitution's Origination Clause states:

"All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills."

The Senate has violated the spirit of this by taking any bill that originated in the House of Representatives, crossing out all of the words and title (basically giving them a blank page) and then authoring their own revenue bill.

This is how HR1314 - Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 came to be. HR1314 also contains Fast Track authority for the TPP. Fast Track improves the chances of TPP becoming law because it takes away the right of your elected representative to propose changes to the TPP. When the TPP comes to a vote they can only vote YES or NO on the whole thing.

YOUR representatives have decided to preemptively tie their hands on amending a massive trade agreement that was authored in secret using a method that clearly violates the intent of the constitution. Maybe this is the error WE need to remove fast track, and have a chance at STOPPING the TPP.
