Congress quietly prepares to renew Patriot Act
‘Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI) has introduced a little-noticed bill that intends to once again renew controversial provisions of the Bush administration’s USA Patriot Act that are due to expire this year.
When the act was first signed into law, Congress put in some “sunset” provisions to quiet the concerns of civil libertarians, but they were ignored by successive extensions. Unfortunately, those concerns proved to be well founded, and a 2008 Justice Department report confirmed that the FBI regularly abused their ability to obtain personal records of Americans without a warrant.’
Highest upvoted question for Barack Obama’s Youtube contest.
This is the top video out of the top 50, all of which have to do with our long-lasting drug war. The last time they did this, the most popular video had to do with cannabis legalization but it was largely ignored.
Actually, it wasn’t ignored but the president did crack a little joke about what the legalization questions said about the “Internet audience.” Isn’t the Internet everyone?! I hope today he realizes that the American people want an answer.

‘Congress is weighing legislation that could give the president the authority to flip the “kill switch” on our Internet, just as the Egyptian regime did earlier this week to quell free speech, online organizing and political dissent.
Senators Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Thomas Carper (D-Dela.) introduced legislation in the last Congress that would give the executive branch vague authority to cut off “critical infrastructure” in times of crisis. According to a recent report in Wired, Sen. Collins plans to reintroduce the bill in the new Congress.
Such drastic action is a new way for governments to smother popular movements worldwide. We must guard against any effort to curtail our access to the open Internet.
Urge your senators to say “no” to any legislation that allows the government to cut off the Internet. We will deliver your signature, with your comments, to your senators.

NEVER A MISCOMMUNICATION.
