AI Summary

This bill urges the U.S. Congress to reject the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) free trade agreement. The TPP is a trade deal being negotiated between 12 nations, including the U.S., that goes beyond just reducing tariffs and trade barriers. The bill argues that the TPP would adversely impact consumer protections, financial regulations, and internet freedoms in the U.S., while also relocating American jobs, decreasing access to affordable medicine, and rolling back regulatory safeguards. The bill also criticizes the proposed "fast-track" legislation that would limit congressional review and approval of the TPP, arguing that Congress must fulfill its responsibility to ensure any trade agreement advances the best interests of American citizens.
