As of June 1, the "Patriot" act will be no more! :laugh: Many thanks to  Rand Paul[R-KY] and Ron Wyden [D-OR] for killing this. Bravo, gentleman, bravo! :congrats:

First, it's not the whole Patriot act that is expiring, and there is still a chance that they'll reauthorize before expiration.

It shows that not all politicians are totally sold out puppets like obumble. Rubio is 100% in favor of nsa spying and govt spying on citizens in general.

I wondered if there was anyone who had no clue about govt surveillance. I guess there is.

I was excited when the TPP didn't make it through congress, then the weekend was over and things were back on track.  People will seem like heroes in politics, but they're all part of the puppet stage.  That's just how I feel about it.

Why? Islam is stronger now and getting stronger than ever. The U.N. is still active. Freedom has not yet been secured. Nothing to celebrate.

If mass data collection played any role in the security of our country the United States would be the safest place on the planet. The government is and has been doing things to make it less secure, and the U.S is in the process of being transformed into a third world country right before our eyes.

Good thing we still have the FISA amendment, EO12333, the 5 eyes program, PRISM, and now the Freedom Act to continue unabated surveillance.

Stand with Rand! He's the only candidate I've heard talking about eliminating mandatory minimums for drug offenses.
