UPDATE: Rand Paul's Statement on the Patriot Act Extension
"For the past seven hours, Senator Paul has been holding the Senate floor, keeping Reid and his allies from rushing this bill through the Senate without debate or amendments."
Please give Senator Paul's office a call at 202-224-4343 to thank him for standing up for the American people and the Constitution!
Afterward, please give both of your senators another call through the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121.
Ask them to stand with Rand Paul, the Constitution, and the fundamental liberties that made America great by opposing the rushed extension of these three provisions without debate - and unamended.
Together, we have a great opportunity to make a difference, but I need you all to remain as steadfast and committed to this fight as Senator Paul.
I hope you will stand with Senator Paul and C4L by again contacting both of your senators to oppose the extension of the so-called "Patriot" Act.

basically yes, but it is a lot more.
It allows the FBI to obtain wiretaps without identifying the target or what method of communication is to be tapped. It also has a provision called "lone wolf" , which allows court warrants for the electronic monitoring of anyone without showing that the suspect is an agent of a foreign power or a terrorist.
But it is more then that... it allowed "sneak and peek" searches, it deals with the banks, the borders, etc. It is a really bad piece of legislation that should have never been passed. But they were able to pass it by playing on peoples emotions in the wake of 911 with a bill called "the patriot" act which is the furthest thing from an actual fucking patriot of this country.
When this thing first came up for vote, Ron Paul was handed a copy of the bill like 20 minutes before the actual vote. This is a massive 350 page bill. It was very simple for him to vote.... "NO. Twenty minutes isnt enough time to read and comprehend the consequences of passing this law" He was one of like two people who voted no.
i think we should continue with the what we're already doing (the war). theres always gonna be some jackass terrorist to take the place of the previous jackass terrorist. unfortunately war is a neccessary evil IMO. as long as we have these douche bag terrorists and stuff, we need to continue to get rid of them.

"Both Parties are War Parties. Let's face it. That's what we have to admit. It seems that the Military Industrial Complex controls both the parties. A lot of weapons are sold. And, you always have to have an enemy. Think how many weapons have been sold already just bombing Libya. How many dollars do we have to spend getting more drones to drop bombs in Pakistan" said Ron Paul when he appeared on The View recently.
Ron Paul also emphasized the influence of Corporations on decision and policy making in American politics: "We have a system of Corporatism where business and Governments are partners and they rip us off - whether it is the Military Industrial Complex or big drug and insurance companies. And, that's why we have lousy care."
I believe that tax cuts – especially for the most wealthy -- will stimulate the economy and cut the debt and deficit even though they never have before. I believe that giving Federal assistance to multinational corporations and super-wealthy individuals is good for job growth, even though these corporations we help with our tax dollars shut down their American plants and moved all the jobs to Communist countries. I believe the reason that multinational corporations offshore American jobs is because of unions, and Americans shouldn’t be able to unionize anyway. American workers dared to offend the multinational corporations, and workers are now reaping what they have sewn. Since the Supreme Court decreed that corporations are citizens, people should do whatever the multinational corporations tell us to do.
If a CEO makes FOUR HUNDRED times more than the average worker in the plant makes, THEY EARNED IT. That guy that works on the plant floor toiling away - he’s just a lazy union worker who hates America. If the foreign owned companies these CEOs are in charge of go bankrupt, it’s not their fault – it’s the workers’ fault.
As a Republican, it doesn't bother me that you can have your pay reduced, or can be fired if you are not performing, but they cannot. The CEO earned that immunity from responsibility – you didn't, so shut up.
As a Republican, I believe that Obama wants to “redistribute” the wealth so that more of the available money is spread around to people that need it most; and as a Republican I believe that this is terrible, and proves he is a godless, commie, socialist, Muslim, baby killer.
Also as a Republican, the fact that over the last eight years income has been redistributed ANYWAY, more to the top than any time in history, and the fact that wages for the middle class have remained stagnant while money from all economic growth accumulates at the very top, and the fact that this “redistribution” to the top is shown in all studies – just proves that the rich are smart and they earned it. You losing your job to a factory in India, China, or Vietnam is all your fault because you wanted 15.00 an hour. They take 61 cents an hour – you should know better.
If you work on a hot factory floor risking your life near heavy machinery and work to the sweat of your brow, you are a lazy leech for asking for 19 dollars an hour.
If you are a CEO of an Insurance Corporation which does not actually provide any health care (they are not doctors) or sit at a computer buying and selling other peoples companies on Wall Street, and you happen to make $19,000.00 dollars an hour -- you earned it and liberals just need to shut up.
I will be voting Republican because I don’t believe in welfare - - at least the way I define it. If a poor person with no money or an elderly or sick person needs help, why should my tax dollars help them? If they’re poor or sick, it’s because God predestined them to be poor and sick and it would be a violation of God’s sovereignty and God’s will to help them. After all, Jesus said, “God helps those who help themselves.”
However, the BILLIONS handed to Corporations for free is NOT welfare. I choose to give that a different name: corporate incentives. If you have a yacht and need a bailout, that helps America.
I am a Republican because Democrats want my money for “public services”. Those Democrats want to waste my money on policemen and fire protection. If crime goes up, it’s your fault: I have a gun. I will protect myself from crime and I don’t need “government.” If your house catches on fire, it’s your fault: you can pay for your own fire protection and for the cost of the firemen putting out the fire, but I shouldn’t have to.
I am pro-life, as long as long as it's in the body of another full-grown woman. I couldn't care less about it the second it's out of the womb, which is also why I'm pro-death penalty, and anti-welfare. If that woman can't afford to feed or clothe that baby once we force her to give birth, my tax dollars shouldn't pay for it because that would be “socialism”. She can keep that baby warm with enough blankets and boxes under a bridge, and if she knew how to survive like I do, she would know how to catch and eat rats. You have to make it on your own in this world you know.
It doesn't matter to me that rich women will still be able to obtain abortions in other countries -- whether they believe in it or not. I say, if you don’t have the money, then take your America hating butt into a back alley and get your abortion “the old fashioned way” and do it with coat hangers and die.
