House Defeats part of the Patriot act

Dear Patriot,

As a member of my staff said during tonight’s vote, you could hear the arms breaking all the way from Capitol Hill to here in the C4L National office as victory slipped out of the statists’ grasp.

Earlier tonight, the U.S. House DEFEATED legislation to extend three of the so-called “PATRIOT” Act’s controversial provisions.

Because the bill was put on the “Suspension Calendar,” it needed 290 votes to pass.

Thanks to the quick action of true Patriots, however, the vote failed 277-148.  Click here to see how your representative voted.

Remember that the legislation was expected to easily pass.  Don’t let anyone ever tell you it’s hopeless to fight for your freedoms.


This fight is only beginning.  The three provisions expire on February 28, so this is not the last you and I will hear of extending them.

You and I have kept the pressure on Congress, but now we have to turn it up.

If your representative voted against extending the provisions, thank them for their stand but tell them you expect consistency and opposition on every vote to extend ANY part of the so-called “PATRIOT” Act.

If your representative voted for the Bill of Rights-shredding “PATRIOT” Act tonight, remind them of their oath to uphold the Constitution.  Urge them to put the American People’s rights before the surveillance state’s power by rejecting the “PATRIOT” Act on every vote.

Thanks for all your hard work to ensure victory tonight.  I look forward to many more triumphs to come as C4L continues its mission to reclaim the Republic and restore the Constitution.


In Liberty,



John Tate

President
