Dear Rick,
It definitely sent them reeling.
Unfortunately, much like the villains in horror movies, unconstitutional legislation is tough to kill and
has a habit of coming back before you know it.
A vote is likely later today on the
"PATRIOT" Act extension.
Please, contact your Congressman right
away and send a clear message that any vote in support of the "PATRIOT Act" is unacceptable.
They tried to sneak it through under a suspension of the rules in
their "PATRIOT" Act sneak attack. But since you and I beat them
Tuesday, their cover is blown.
However, in another round of political maneuvering, Republicans
rammed H.R. 514, the bill to extend three provisions of the "PATRIOT"
Act through December 8, 2011, through the House Rules Committee
Wednesday afternoon during an "emergency" session.
The rules that passed are set up so
there is almost no debate, absolutely no amendments, and no points of order against the bill or any of its provisions.
The manner in which the government is going about
its effort to renew these expiring provisions is despicable.
In fact, the Republican leadership is
acting exactly like the Obama Administration in its dedication to ram
this
extension down the American People's throats despite widespread
opposition.
Your efforts helped
to keep two thirds of the House from supporting the extension. Now I need your commitment to double down on the pressure.
A vote could take place as early as today on this Bill of Rights-shredding legislation.
The liberty movement must stand up to the surveillance
state by flooding the House's offices with phone calls, faxes, and
emails.
Please, contact your Congressman right away to send a clear message that any vote in
support of the "PATRIOT Act" is unacceptable.
By the end of this week, everyone in the
U.S. House needs to know they will have to answer for trampling on the
Fourth Amendment if they vote to throw your civil liberties out the
window
because it's supposedly the "politically popular" thing to do.
In Liberty,
John Tate
President
