Senate Rejects Patriot Renewal

Excellent news was reported today: the U.S. Senate voted to reject renewal of the Patriot Act! Calling my senators and congresswoman, and continually emailing them to lobby against the renewal has paid off. Or, perhaps it was the idea of 1984 abuses that changed many minds. Details on the renewal rejection are in this AP article. Now we just need to get past the end of the year, when the clauses finally expire.
