Wow, the Kansas City Star reported that the U.S. Senate could not come up with the required votes to pass the terrible Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) act we have been reporting on for some time.

SENATE

2. Government Surveillance (S 2248): The Senate, voting 48-45, failed to get 60 votes needed to advance a bill that would expand the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act beyond its original domestic focus to address U.S. government spying on electronic communications in which at least one party is overseas. A yes vote was to advance the bill.

3. Spy Act Extension (S 2248): Voting 48-45, the Senate failed to reach 60 votes needed to advance a proposed 30-day extension of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Congress then used voice votes to extend the law until Feb. 15. A yes vote backed the extension.

While it never does any good because they have their own agenda, letters mailed to Senators by hundreds or thousands of people will at least let them know we are tired of this. I’ll send my letters out tonight of congradulations that those idiots saved our privacy for a few more day.

Write your traitor and demand the Executive branch stop snooping us & to keep voting down this terrible law that will grant immunity to the Telco’s for handing over all your PRIVATE information to the little dictator; we have rights against unreasonable search and seizure that they seem to have forgotten in their greedy little brains; here is the list of Senators and their contact information.

Protecting your privacy…
