The unPATRIOTic Act – How did your Congressman vote?
You could hear the arms breaking all the way from Capitol Hill to here in North Carolina as victory slipped out of the statists’ grasp.
Tuesday night, the U.S. House DEFEATED legislation to extend three of the so-called “PATRIOT” Act’s controversial provisions.
Because the bill was put on the “Suspension Calendar,” it needed 290 votes to pass.
Thanks to the quick action of true Patriots, however, the vote failed 277-148.
Remember that the legislation was expected to easily pass. Don’t let anyone ever tell you it’s hopeless to fight for your freedoms.
Here are the North Carolina U.S. Representatives who voted the wrong way:

(2) Renee Ellmers(202) 225-4531
(5) Virginia Foxx (202) 225-2071
(6) Howard Coble (202) 225-3065
(7) Mike McIntyre (202) 225-2731
(8) Larry Kissell (202) 225-3715
(9) Sue Myrick (202) 225-1976

Contact your rep and let them know what you think about them voting for the Bill of Rights-shredding PATRIOT Act.
This fight is only beginning. The three provisions expire on February 28, so this is not the last you and I will hear of extending them.
You and I have kept the pressure on Congress, but now we have to turn it up.
Contact your rep using the information above and remind them of their oath to uphold the Constitution. Urge them to put the American People’s rights before the surveillance state’s power by rejecting the “PATRIOT” Act on every vote.
Thanks for all your hard work to ensure victory. I look forward to many more triumphs to come as C4L continues its mission to reclaim the Republic and restore the Constitution.
