<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>still very sad to see how many Republicans and so called Tea Partiers voted
yes for this thing. As has been said throughout this post - we have to vote OUT
everyone who voted yes on this (<EM>are you listening Michelle Bachmann?)</EM>
what fake scum is representing the people. Thank goodness for the Democrats in
this vote today - voting no.<BR>Kucinich etc... anyone have his speech from
today - heard a short audio clip today and he was on fire! Ron Paul as always a
dynamic speech...I found Kucinich's smoking good remarks from the house
floor...Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) was one of the more vocal opponents, and
cited a report that said the FBI has conducted thousands of warrantless searches
using so-called "national security letters." </DIV>
<DIV>
<P>These letters are a form of subpoena that the FBI and other agencies have
used to demand records, and they are not subject to any judicial oversight. </P>
<P>"The Patriot Act is a destructive undermining of the Constitution," Kucinich
said.<BR>"How about today we take a stand for the Constitution to say that all
Americans should be free from unreasonable search and seizure, and to make
certain that the attempt to reauthorize the Patriot Act is beat down."</P>

derail Patriot Act extension<BR>By Scott Butterworth<BR><BR>Nine House
Republican freshmen and three inaugural members of the Tea Party Caucus
voted against a proposed extension of three Patriot Act provisions Tuesday
night, helping block the measure from passage under fast-track
rules.<BR><BR>The House clearly backed the measure, voting 277 to 148 to
extend the provisions, and most Republicans stuck by their leadership and
supported the extension. But enough defected, joined by most Democrats, to
keep the measure from receiving the two-thirds majority required for passage
under the fast-track procedure.<BR><BR>The House is likely to bring the
extensions back up before the end of the month under regular procedures,
when a simple majority would suffice to send it to the
Senate.<BR><BR>Attention immediately swung to whether House members
sympathetic to the tea party had decided the matter, especially after Rep.
Dennis J. Kucinich (D-Ohio) said Monday that the vote would be "the tea
party's first test."<BR><BR>The Republicans who voted no Tuesday night
included Roscoe G. Bartlett (Md.), Paul Broun (Ga.) and Walter B. Jones
(N.C.), all of whom were original members of the House Tea Party Caucus when
it was founded last summer.<BR><BR>And nine GOP freshmen also voted no:
Justin Amash (Mich.), Michael G. Fitzpatrick (Pa.), Christopher P. Gibson
