Friends,
The House finally stood up to Bush and his 9/11 scare tactics! I do not think any of the Congressmen are unpatriotic. Some are just stupid. Anyway, this was a good day for Democrats. At least the House has backbone. This is an important time to contact your Congressmen and tell them that they must not conceed to Bush. Fuck, tell them they are Patriotic and maybe they will continue to act with resolve.
Love and Peace,
Rev O
From the Washington Post, Dan Froomkin
"After years of going belly-up before President Bush, particularly on matters of national security, Democrats in one chamber of Congress yesterday apparently decided they'd had about enough.
Defiantly rejecting what they called Bush's fear mongering, House Democrats refused to vote on a broad surveillance law their Senate colleagues had sent them the day before.
And, for good measure, they voted to hold Bush's chief of staff and former counsel in contempt."
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid wrote to Bush: "I regret your reckless attempt to manufacture a crisis over the reauthorization of foreign surveillance laws. . . . Your suggestion that the law's expiration would prevent intelligence agents from listening to the conversations of terrorists is utterly false."
