House passes extension of Patriot Act
Hypatia Posted Feb 16, 2011
The actual document is the product of many men in committee, so to speak. I'm not sure who was used as a scribe for the original document.

He was paid $30.
Hypatia, I knew you knew it was just an extension, you said so in your title. I was mostly addressing some of these furriners that lurk about here that might not be (but probably were) aware.

I've just received an update from Demand Progress concerning the USAPATRIOT act extension status.
_________________________________________
We just scored a huge victory on the PATRIOT Act.
When we first took on this fight, everybody told us we didn't have a chance of winning. Even the other big activism groups had given up hope. For ten years, the PATRIOT Act had been renewed again and again without real fixes or serious debate. Why would this year be any different?
But thanks to you, it was. Instead of rubber-stamping the bill for another three years, as was originally proposed, the House and Senate have just agreed to hold real hearings on fixing the PATRIOT Act. Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL), a longtime PATRIOT Act critic, has promised to craft and pass a bill that ends PATRIOT Act abuses. This is huge.

Then it goes on to ask for donations (I'm planning on contributing.)
Anyways, so far, so good.

And now the House has just gutted Title X, funding for women's health -- mammograms, cancer screening, antenatal care and contraception -- for lower to middle income families.
Barbarians.
