Patriot Act Revisited. Or Not

From Rep John Conyer Jr's blog:

Patriot Act Reauthorization
I didn't need my civil liberties anyway

I just got out of a 12 hour markup in the House Judiciary Committee on the Patriot Act. The GOP bill, which passed on a party line vote, would essentially make the expiring sections of the Patriot Act, passed in 2001, permanent.


He goes on to say the amendments to it fell along the party line votes as well, and that this may hit the floor next week. Full text with public comments is linked in the title.

So NOW is the time to object to your reps and senators, folks. Especially any Republican reps and senators. You can use the capwiz link on the side of this blog if your usual action alert groups don't have this particular action alert. Or even better, send a printed letter.

And if you haven't yet, you may want to add Conyer's blog to the list of blogs you follow. It's been an interesting read so far.
