Chance to Stop NSA Phone Spying Defeated by More Repubicans Than Dems

[mountainpass]

My guy "Consistent Conservative" himself Doug Collins voted along with Hank Johnson, Gingrey, Barrow, and others to continue funding the NSA's ability to collect cell phone records. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-...-to-curb-spy-agency-access-to-phone-data.html

Here is the vote: http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2013/roll412.xml

If just 7 more people had voted no it would have stopped the snooping. Heck more Dems voted to stop it than Republicans.

Dang it Doug I expected better.....why?

I'm sure it's because we should give up a little freedom for safety BS.

I sent a letters to my reps about this a couple weeks ago. Got a form letter response that I already deleted.

I'm not shocked. The 'conservatives' love control just as much as the liberals.

The USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 is an Act of Congress that was signed into law by President George W. Bush on October 26, 2001...On May 26, 2011, President Barack Obama signed the PATRIOT Sunsets Extension Act of 2011,[2] a four-year extension of three key provisions in the USA PATRIOT Act:[3] roving wiretaps, searches of business records (the "library records provision"), and conducting surveillance of "lone wolves"—individuals suspected of terrorist-related activities not linked to terrorist groups.[4]

In all "fairness to the Patriot Act" (that was hard to type), even it's authors agree the outed NSA surveillance was NOT the intent nor should it be covered.
