The 'patriot' act (which contains the NSL provisions) only got re-authorized by two votes in the House of Representatives.

We could have changed that outcome and made them make it right before passing the re-authorization - but we didn't.

Isn't it time to make them do it right? Pete

I for one will visit the site you referenced. This whole "homeland security" deal is in fact an over reaction to a terribly tragic event. The agency needs to be reintegrated with previously existing agencies that are already mandated to protect the people before it becomes firmly entrenched. The last thing we need is another branch of government. To paraphrase a statement made by William E. Simon when he was Secretary of the Treasury - "The American people already have more government than they want, need, or willing to pay for."
