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.

'House out of order' after first blockage of Patriot Act in ten years

...87 new Republican Congressmen and 13 new Republican Senators were sworn into office last month. Many of them claim to hold 'Tea Party' limited government type values. Yet out of the 87 new Republicans in the House, we had a gain of only 16 votes against the Patriot Act compared with last year.

So much for the TEA Party being an agent of change within the GOP....but I'm glad the extension failed nonetheless.

However it died, and whoever killed it, I could care less.

Keep 'em coming.

Artisan, I think we need to allow at least one day to celebrate a small, but important victory.

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.

(TeaParty) Thank god they were elected, pure and simple.

Yet some here continue to lie about and slander them. Why are they allowed to practice their treason here? Why are they allowed to use 4um as a sounding board for their disinformation?

Why are they allowed to try to block the sunlight of freedom?

That which does not kill you makes you stronger.

And that's also why, while I'm certainly not displeased, I'm not gonna get excited about this news.

Nations can survive "Patriot Acts."

Nations can survive "Patriot Acts."

Empires over nations always have "Patriot Acts."
