PATRIOT ACT EXTENSION FAILS

Thanks to your dedicated efforts, the motion to suspend the rules and pass the extension of three PATRIOT Act provisions failed tonight in the House of Representatives! Since they were attempting to pass it on the suspension calendar, the vote required two thirds (290 members) of the House to agree to it.

The vote came down to the wire, and you could hear the arms breaking on Capitol Hill out here in Springfield, VA.

By a vote of 277-148, the House failed to pass the extension - click here for the roll call vote to see how your representative voted!

Thanks again for all you've done, but remember, we can't let up pressure now. This won't be the last we've heard of the PATRIOT Act renewal in the House.

Patriot Act extension fails in the House by seven votes

House rejects Patriot Act extension

More than two-dozen House Republicans bucked their party to oppose the measure that would extend three key provisions in the counterterrorism law.

By Paul Kane and Felicia Sonmez Washington Post Staff Writers Tuesday, February 8, 2011; 9:21 PM

House Republicans suffered an embarrassing setback Tuesday when they fell seven votes short of extending provisions of the Patriot Act, a vote that served as the first small uprising of the party's tea-party bloc.

you got it. i am doing a comparison between who voted for what. now there were 87 new gop congressman sworn in last month. Last year, only 10 gop congressmen voted no on the patriot act. this year, it was 26, a gain of 16.

16 out of 87 is small %, but it did the trick. i will list all of them as well as those who claimed tea party status yet voted yes on it.thes thigns are important to expose the rats.

mcclintock, a previous fave candidate of mine here in ca, is one who i criticized for voting yes on it last year. he voted no this time round, for some reason.

I admit to being rather jaded about politics.

I was first really aware of its machinations about 1940. Since then, tides of change have come and gone, always bringing a ray of hope for the masses, only to be dashed, time after time.

The relentless growth of government has continued unabated, no matter the President, no matter the party. There have been numerous "new brooms" going to Washington to end the corruption, to free Americans, all hopes were without truth or foundation.

The ballot box and voting has turned out to be the best control system of the masses ever envisioned.

Re: the Senate, this was posted Feb 4th at whatreallyhappened.com.

The FBI Has Been Violating Your Liberties in Ways That May Shock You

Last week, Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy, [Democrat]- VT, introduced legislation to extend the Patriot Act past its February 28 expiration date to December 2013.
Though the extension once again saves some of the most nefarious, First- Amendment trampling provisions of the act — roving wiretaps, secret access to third-party records, the hunting of targets unafilliated with foreign powers — Leahy released a statement assuring us that the new extension will increase citizen protections.

Re: this problematic flashback from your 'House out of order' link at Post #2:

Ten Republicans who voted no to renew Patriot Act in 2010
Martin Hill
May 9th, 2010 5:10 am PT
On February 25th, Congress voted to renew three sections of the Patriot Act which were set to expire. They did so in a secretive way, lumping the 'Patriot Act' renewal into a group of other bills that were set to expire. In effect, they bundled the bills into one vote as to avoid public debate or publicity on the matter. So at 7:25 PM on a Thursday night, it was extended for another year, in bill H R 3961 titled Medicare Physician Payment Reform Act.

That skullduggery of lumping bills together should be abolished. So should their redundant maneuvers at taxpayer's expense to force legislation that's been voted down back onto the floor before the ink has even dried. The States should nullify any such reprehensible, steamrolled legislation -- as well as any bills not read and debated before voting, like the oxymoronic "PATRIOT" Act of 2001 -- and bill the DC offenders for the time.

http://www.examiner.com/la-county-libertarian-in-los-angeles/26-repubs- who-supported-liberty-voted-no-on-the-patriot-act-who-are-they
Excerpt: Now on to the eighteen people who voted No on the Patriot Act in 2011 who were not on the 'NO' LIST in 2010. Ten of them were already in office, and switched their votes to support liberty. Eight others took office for the first time this year. Out of the following eighteen people, only eight are serving their very first term in Congress. This means that out of 87 newly elected Republican Congressman, only eight of those voted NO on the Patriot Act. (13 new Republican Senators took office last mont for their first term).

ALL things FEDERAL should be abolished - terminated !

And then what? Anarchy? I agree there needs to be some massive rollbacks. You might like this new book by Tom Woods:

Who’s Afraid of a Free Society?
by Thomas E. Woods, Jr.
Today is the release date for my new book, Rollback : Repealing Big Government Before the Coming Fiscal Collapse. It could just as easily have been called Everything Needs to Be Abolished, and Here’s Why.
[sic]
let’s suppose that the federal government has in fact been an enemy of the people’s welfare, and that the progress in our living standards has occurred quite in spite of its efforts. It pits individuals, firms, industries, regions, races, and age groups against each other in a zero-sum game of mutual plunder. It takes credit for improvements in material conditions that we in fact owe to the private sector, while refusing to accept responsibility for the countless failures and social ills to which its own programs have given rise. Rather than bringing about the "public good," whatever that means, it governs us through a series of fiefdoms seeking bigger budgets and more power. Despite the veneer of public-interest rhetoric by which it camouflages its real nature, it is a mere parasite on productive activity and a net minus in the story of human welfare.
Now if this is a more accurate depiction of the federal government, we are likely to have a different view of the consequences of the coming fiscal collapse. So an institution that has seized our wealth, held back the rise in our standard of living, and deceived schoolchildren into honoring it as the source of all progress, will have to be cut back? What’s the catch? This is no calamity to be deplored. It is an opportunity to be seized. The primary purpose of the book, therefore, is to demonstrate that we would not only survive but even flourish in the absence of countless institutions we are routinely told we could not live without.

And then what? Anarchy?

State and County Government are more than sufficient. And, if they became dictatorial, shut them off too.

Look, I wouldn't call it anarchy ... I'd call it UNarchy. What we have today is the most sophisticated and intrusive techno-dictatorship to have ever existed on planet earth. Personally, I don't like it one bit and am quite willing to go it alone or with a group of my choosing.

To those people that think of themselves as self sufficient, independent, self- starters, self-motivated, whatever best fits your own description of yourselves, to sit back and watch these anti-freedom ghouls steal every last crumb, to squeeze out every last drop of blood, to shit all over freedom as well as murder all over the world, I say prove it.

I much prefer anarchy to this highly organized blitzkrieg rolling out from D.C.

If it's FEDERAL it's fucked. Get it ? There isn't anything good or even well intended oozing out of that cess pit, so stop fucking financing it if you have an ounce of backbone or intestinal fortitude.

Otherwise you are a traitor to yourself and everyone else that's ill effected through your most generous contributions to the FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM / IRS / War Mongering, fucking satan. Got it yet ??? Talk is cheap. Freedom has a price attached to it.

Look in the fucking mirror and catch a glimpse of the REAL ENEMY of FREEDOM. Yes ! It's you !!! Followers of the Great Satan in D.C. [Bend down and lick the boot of your master].

Thanks for the terrific, impartial research Artisan. For now it's clear the "Tea Party" splits heavily on issues of war and this Act. Most can't be counted on to help extract us from foreign entanglements or draconian domestic law. OTOH, the eight more libertarian tea party members who supplied the necessary votes to (for now) put a stake in the heart of parts of this Patriot Act mess deserve our thanks. It's a victory, make no mistake about it. I never thought all the new folk would be like us on 4um. We are a very small group of America Firsters and to think change will come immediately after one voting cycle is unrealistic. To those who want to do something I suggest calling these Reps and thanking them for a start. From there, we need to continue to weed out the good from the bad come election time. We've been given a start from a core of people who voted with Ron Paul and against big government. If one looks at the people (Obama, establishment Rs) who wanted the extension, yesterday's rejection is a solid start. Thanks are in order to those who helped put these eight votes in the House. Their vote did matter.

Therein lies the key point. Most of the government chest puffery is nothing more than the public relations of a Used Car Salesman asserting that the lemon du jour really was owned by a little old lady from Pasadena who only drove it to church on Sundays. (Of course that was 3 owners and 150,000 very hard miles ago, but what the hey?)
