House to vote on Amash's NSA Amendment on Wednesday (update: defeated 205 to 217)

[american.swan]

Who were the quick ones to vote yea?

And what was the vote right at when 217 was reached? Before the weak/blackmailed ones votes yea?

 

[JCDenton0451]

I'm surprised it was even this close. Was expecting like 350-50 in defeat.

You should thank the Dems who voted for it.

Great news. He is as loony and kooky as that mental case #ronpaul: RT “@RCDefense: Amash amendment goes down 205-217." #nsa #tcot

Sadly, I don't think we have time anymore to wait for the old authoritarian fuckers to die off.

There are plenty of young authoritarian fuckers. Or did you forget the Obama youth?

You can't help that kinda stuff. Had the internet been around in 1941 you'd have read the same insanity from "good" Germans.

 

[FallOfTheWest]

I've never called my congressmen before. I know for sure the scumbag voted nay.
What do you guys say? Would cussing and yelling be bad?

Good point. I was referring mostly to elected authoritarian REPUBLICAN fuckers.

A pro-America, pro-Israel activist from Iran. An advocate of regime change in #Iran. #TCOT #AvGeek #Military #atheist

I didn't suggest you love any party, Carly. Likewise, to hate a party is pretty stupid, don't you think? They are inanimate objects, used or not used, to achieve political objectives. Those who involve themselves and become the leadership clearly enhance its usefulness. Those who merely snark on the side, don't.

Not having this conversation with you. I made a simple statement after observing how this amendment was shot down by mostly Republicans and you start jumping. Don't think I am going to sit here and take your shit so kindly buzz off.

I haven't noticed the Democrats overturning the Patriot Act, lately, have you?

 

[supermario21]

There actually wasn't a huge group of ayes at the end. It seemed to be consistently down by ~15 votes.

Can you never drop something? Just leave it alone?

You had the conversation and buzz off right on back.

Apparently not right now. But, thanks for asking.

Their offices are closed, so you will have to wait until tomorrow.

I was very polite when I called. Then again, I was sober at the time. It went really good though.

I have to find out how Rep. Tim Walz (MN) voted. I may, or may not, be polite when I call back.

 

[Anti Federalist]

This blunt approach is not the product of an informed, open, or deliberative process

But scooping up data on everybody is not "blunt".

Fuck these people.

Be polite but make sure they know you are extremely unhappy. Find another bad vote by them and say that you started losing faith in them with that vote and that this vote basically seals the deal. Tell them that you donated and volunteered last election, but this next one you feel compelled to make sure they are primaried by someone who supports the Constitution, but that there is still time for you to change your mind and that you hope that his/her next votes are more in line with what the constituents sent him/her to DC to do: uphold the Constitution.

Mike Rogers suggested Justin Amash was leading this charge for Facebook likes. Nice.
