Electronic Frontier Foundation weighs in on the renewal of the Patriot Act
Renewing unconstitutional republican programs is NOT change I can believe in.

Epic Fail in Congress: USA PATRIOT Act Renewed Without Any New Civil Liberties Protections

Disappointingly, the government's dangerously broad authority to conduct roving wiretaps of unspecified or "John Doe" targets, to secretly wiretap of persons without any connection to terrorists or spies under the so-called "lone wolf" provision, and to secretly access a wide range of private business records without warrants under PATRIOT Section 215 were all renewed without any new checks and balances to prevent abuse.
