McConnell Moves Forward with Patriot Act Reauthorization

Last night Senator Majority Leader Mitch McConnell read a clean version (without any sort of reforms) of the Patriot Act Extension. This means that McConnell can move to proceed to the bill without hearings or any committee process whenever he decides the time is right to file cloture.

Campaign for Liberty opposes the Patriot Act Extension, specifically Section 215, which allows for the warrantless, bulk collection of Americans’ private phone data.

Stay tuned for updates on when this bill will move to the floor and be sure to sign your petition to your representatives OPPOSING the reauthorization of unconstitutional NSA spying programs.
