Dear Barrett,
A vote will occur TODAY to extend the "PATRIOT" Act another year, and it will pass easily unless you and I take immediate action.
Congress is once again trying to sneak through an attack on our rights by reauthorizing the so-called "PATRIOT" Act with as little debate and scrutiny as possible.
No amendments will be allowed, and debate will be limited to 40 minutes.
Please call Rep. Pete Sessions at (202) 225-2231 and send a clear message that a vote for a suspension calendar with the so-called "PATRIOT" Act on it is a vote for roving wiretaps, secret sneak and peek searches conducted without the knowledge of the subject, search and seizure of library records, and so-called "national security letters" signed by anonymous bureaucrats replacing warrants signed by a judge.
Last year, the statists slipped reauthorization of the so-called "PATRIOT" Act through with little opposition.
You and I cannot allow the Constitution-shredding "PATRIOT" Act, with its roving wiretaps and secret searches, to be reauthorized through parliamentary shenanigans and without debate or amendments.
Please, call Rep. Pete Sessions at (202) 225-2231 right away!
In Liberty,
John Tate
President
