PATRIOT ACT

DEFEATED

The supporters of the Patriot Act were dealt a blow when the bill didn't receive enough votes to bring it to the floor for a final vote. The Patriot Act is reminiscent of the McCarthy era of the 50's and the "red scare", only now its terrorist. People can turn others in to the authorities on suspicion of being a terrorist without any evidence to back it up. So, if the NSA isn't spying on you, maybe your neighbors are.
