"I am scared to death about the TPP," he said.

The Quad-Cities Chamber of Commerce has a different view of the legislation. Henry Marquard, director of government affairs, said the chamber supports TPP to allow the U.S. access to more foreign markets.

"Access to markets is crucial, since manufacturing is the largest sector of our economy," he said, adding there is threat to jobs in the Quad-Cities.

Marquard also called for a crackdown on unfair foreign practices. "The U.S. should address practices such as currency manipulation or 'dumping,' which puts our businesses at an unfair disadvantage," he said.

Cohen takes the country's lead in opposing the pact, and "shines the light in dark corners and fights the evil of Wall Street," Abbott said to introduce the featured speaker.

Cohen explained that TPP is on "fast-track" legislation, and probably headed for an up-or-down vote in Congress. He emphasized his greatest concerns are in the U.S. House of Representatives.

The up-or-down vote likely will come between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
