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

Damn it Kristi Noem. You have voted for every piece of major legislation that supports the police state over civil liberties. She has gone neo-con hook, line and sinker. Absolutely despicable. So glad I left her section of the ballot blank.
 
My representative sucks. As do my siblings' representatives. Ohio has so many sucky politicians and almost no good ones. Jim Jordan is one of the rare decent ones.

Culberson?! The guy who wrote this right after the NSA revelations:

It looks like everyone who warned me about the Patriot Act was right – we have all been systematically lied to. It is as though we live in a totalitarian police state, and I will do everything in my power to undo the damage done to our privacy, our liberty, and our Republic.

Here's his explanation for voting against the Amash amendment:

Cramer surprised me and voted yes like I asked. I guess I have to thank him now.
 
Tea Party and so-called Liberal / Progressive groups united in support of this amendment.

But, in response to intense lobbying by the NSA and Obma's White House, this anti-NSA amendment was narrowly defeated

Here are the vote results:

I suggest printing it out for future reference.

Now we know, very clearly, who our allies and enemies are.
The Yes votes aren't necessarily all 'good guys', but the No votes are definitely 'bad guys'.

Though many waffled, still, they were forced to take sides and have their votes counted.

I was surprised to see some opponents of the Patriot Act, such as Sheila Jackson-Lee voting in opposition.
The same Sheila Jackson-Lee who Voted NO on making the PATRIOT Act permanent voted NO on limiting the NSA's un-Constitutional interpretation of the Patriot Act that was renewed by the FISA court only days ago, enabling the NSA to continue to spy on all of our telephone calls, etc., etc.

This marks Sheila Jackson-Lee very clearly as an enemy of the Constitution and the Rule of Law - an Obama / Democrat party hack.
There are many others. May they all go down in infamy.

I have being saying this for a while the Republican party. Are the same as the Democrats the only thing they have common is more wars and spying on the American public they dont give a fuck about the public why would they?

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.

Republicans didn't shoot down the amendment alone. Over 80 Democrats voted against it as well. If every Democrat had voted for it, or even 80% of them, the amendment would've passed.
 
The NSA & Barry's "Party Wagon", held a TOP SECRET/SCI briefing for Congressman today on Capital Hill, prior to voting on the Amash NSA Amendment #100... On those classified Microsoft PowerPoint slides were: the METADATA of Congressman Culberson (R-TX), and his phone calls that matched up to the same list of Call Services as; Elliott Spitzer, Senator Robert Menedez's Dominican Republic minors, David Vitter's DC madame hotline, and finally to former Washington DC mayor Marion Berry's Crack dealers.

The Next PowerPoint Slide was of Nancy Pelosi's, who's phone calls, emails, taped conversations displayed a huge stock deal with credit card company VISA, AIPAC, and...

Can you please give some links or further info into this briefing? I'm very interested in the supposed blackmailing of these and other crony politicians. Thanks!
