A RESOLUTION OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF OREGON

IN SUPPORT OF TRANSPARENCY IN NEGOTIATION OF UNITED STATES TRADE AGREEMENTS


...

NOW, THEREFORE, THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF OREGON RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. Our Senators should insist that the text of the Trans-Pacific Partnership be made public and subject to full discussion and modification by the Senate before this treaty is voted on by Congress.

Section 2. Our Senators should oppose reinstatement or exercise of Fast Track Authority by the president that circumvents the ability of the Senate to carefully consider the TPP and any future free trade agreements.

Section 3. Our Senators should oppose any international trade agreement that would undermine American manufacturing by encouraging production to move to low-wage countries with weak labor and environmental standards.

Section 4. Our members of the Democratic National Committee should refer this resolution to that body as a matter for consideration by the Democratic Parties of all of the states.
