Patriot Act Extension FAILS

[AGRP]

Thanks to your dedicated efforts, the motion to suspend the rules and pass the extension of three PATRIOT Act provisions failed tonight in the House of Representatives! Since they were attempting to pass it on the suspension calendar, the vote required two thirds (290 members) of the House to agree to it.

The vote came down to the wire, and you could hear the arms breaking on Capitol Hill out here in Springfield, VA.

By a vote of 277-148, the House failed to pass the extension - click here for the roll call vote to see how your representative voted!

Thanks again for all you've done, but remember, we can't let up pressure now. This won't be the last we've heard of the PATRIOT Act renewal in the House.

Utah rep. Jason Chaffetz voted yes. Disgusting, and we all liked him.

Ryan (WI) ---- YEA

Can someone break down the list? I would like to see who the Republican no's were.

 

[Kregisen]

Jeff Flake voted for it?? So much for being one of the best congressmen in the nation...

Small victory. Big government Bass from New Hampshire voted for it as well.

wtf??

 

[Sola_Fide]

Flake and Chaffetz voted for it???

Wow. They really go down a notch or two in my book for that...

 

[Zap!]

Only 27 Republicans care about liberty. Oh well, at least the number is growing.

My new tea-party driven congressman voted for it. Not surprised.

Freshman Morgan Griffith (R VA 9th) voted yes the fraud. He went to every Tea Party event in the 9th and promised that he would never vote YES to a bill he has not read. I doubt he has read the PATRIOT ACT.

 

[Zap!]

wtf??

The other Utah Rep., Rob Bishop, voted no. We'll have to get behind him to challenge Se.n Orin Hatch.

 

[amy31416]

Bachmann voted for it, of course.

 

[Anti Federalist]

Small victory. Big government Bass from New Hampshire voted for it as well.

So did "Tea Party" Guinta in the 1st district.

PoS...

Really not surprising when push comes down to shove.

This is my litmus test, if you vote for it, you are no friend of liberty.

call your congressman's/woman's office and tell them when the bill comes up again in a few days to vote NO!

THIS IS IMPORTANT! THEY ARE GOING TO VOTE ON THIS AGAIN!

 

[Fox McCloud]

how many "Tea Party" Republicans voted no?

Well, at least you acknowledged he is yours. That is a first step in voting recovery.
