Reply #29: It is the Republicans who are letting the Patriot Act expire...

...and the Democrats need to make sure this is communicated. The Senators willing to filibuster have, all along, wanted a three-month extension while the objectionable provisions are reviewed more closely. The White House and Senate majority "leadership" refuse to negotiate or compromise and would rather see it die altogether than make any accomodation whatsoever with those who are concerned about some of the provisions of the Patriot Act.

It is the same old hubris and arrogance. We can only hope that more and more Americans see it for what it is before next November.
