If you're tired of trading freedom for 'security' call your Reps and Senators and tell them to vote NO on the Patriot Act today.

Another 4 years
Last night both the House and the Senate passed the so-called Patriot Act. When the final votes were tallied, 23 senators voted against final passage -- up from 8 on Monday. In the House, 31 Republicans voted against the bill. It was only able to pass with the support of 54 Democrats.
It's late, they all need to go every one of them.
