Congress this week quietly passed a bill that may give unprecedented legal authority to the government's warrantless surveillance powers, despite a last-minute effort by Rep. Justin Amash to kill the bill.
Amash staged an aggressive eleventh-hour rally Wednesday night to block passage of the Intelligence Authorization Act, which will fund intelligence agencies for the next fiscal year. The Michigan Republican sounded alarms over recently amended language in the package that he said will for the first time give congressional backing to a controversial Reagan-era decree granting broad surveillance authority to the president.

If you voted for someone that voted NO, then you are fine.
If the people in the district next door voted for someone that voted YES, then there is your problem.
Both republicans and democrats aren’t worth 2 cents. Both are snakes.
No more need for local LEO to obtain subpoenas to collect your data, thanks to this bill.
FYVM, GOP
Now, why would a GOP majority House grant broaded surveillance authority to Obama? Could it be that they are on the same team? Nah. Go back to sleep.
Steve Berman at Redstate put it perfectly:
“In the dark of the night, two weeks before Christmas, the GOP consummated their betrayal of our trust. We voted them a majority for the next two years, and they thanked us by a backstabbing so heinous, that it moved the seismic needle on the Democratic party”

His Mt. Lebanon office had to put me on hold TWICE, because they didn’t know how he voted.
They refused to confirm he even voted on this particular resolution and kept talking about Cromnibus, said stuff was going through the Senate, and that this was merely related to a bill that went through in the spring.
Uh-huh. I may have been born in the morning, but it wasn’t yesterday morning.
How many more elections and disappointments must we endure before comprehending the ugly truth -
There is no voting out way out of this.
I didn’t even bother to call our Rep (R) Rob Woodall as I had already emailed him with our opinion about all this the other day. I’m sure he voted lockstep with Boehner. We are not going to be voting for Rob again when he comes up for re-election in 2016.

"Two parties, governing AGAINST the will of the people, not with the consent of the governed." -- MrB
In fact, that’s tagline material.
I’m flattered... or flattened...
Make sure you send a cyber hug to your NSA monitor.
“There is no voting out way out of this.”
I came to this conclusion before the ‘08 election, John McCain, seriously? Then I watched as Obola stole the nomination from Cankles and campaign at the Brandenburg gate, it was then that I knew the USA was lost. The Styrofoam Greek columns were just the icing on the cake.
In Stonewalled, Atkisson also has a lot to say about National Intelligence Director James Clapper, and his infamous straight-faced lies to Congress concerning the NSA’s mass-spying upon unsuspected ordinary American citizens. Like with the shape-shifting “former” spook and CBS News “consultant” Mike Morell, I am reminded of the famous (but unattributed) saying: “In acting, once you learn how to fake sincerity, the rest is easy.” (Question: is this a subject taught during CIA training? Undoubtedly it is. How else to recruit foreign agents of influence, which is the CIA’s bailiwick? Or at least, it used to be, before they started operating on domestic soil against Americans once again.)
After recounting Clappers’ apparently sincere but always changing testimony, Atkisson had this to say: “Allowing Clapper and other government officials to be in charge of solving their own surveillance controversies is like inviting the fox to guard the henhouse. Except the fox is also getting the keys to the henhouse and the recipe for chicken fricassee.
“In a fictitious world, one can imagine a meeting in which any member of Congress calling for Clapper’s head gets a closed-door visit from Clapper or his team. They slide a file bearing the name of the member of Congress or someone close to him across the desk, J. Edger Hoover-style. The file contains materials surreptitiously gathered under the auspices of a government leak investigation or surveillance program. The member of Congress opens the file. Perhaps his eyes flicker. Maybe his face becomes white. The materials are very...personal. The imaginary Clapper rubs his forehead with his four fingers. No words are spoken because no words are necessary. The file is closed and Clapper drags it back across the desk, never to be spoken of again. Unless necessary. Suddenly the member of Congress is no longer out for Clapper’s head.
“Or here’s another fictitious premise. CIA director Petraeus deviates from the Obama administration’s official line on Benghazi. Somewhere in a private room, a small group of government operatives culls through data to find out who Petraeus had been emailing and calling. Any skeletons in that closet? A review of his file reveals some unseemly contacts with his former biographer. That information could come in very handy.”

If we form a third party and even some how manage to win the next Presidential election, Obama will refuse to leave office. The Oligarchy cannot give up control and allow the people to learn the crimes they have committed.
GOPe has not a clue. They are so wrapped up in DC power, they no longer know America.
The list, Ping
