More votes that are not about jobs.

"Taking away liberties and spying on our citizens is not what the American people voted for last November," Ellison said. "Instead of focusing on job number one -- jobs -- the Republican leadership has chosen to take away our freedoms with one hand while handing out pink slips with the other."

News Release from the Progressive Caucus, actually standing up for Freedom, not just giving it lip service:

Progressive Caucus Co-Chairs Hail Defeat of PATRIOT Act Reauthorization on Feb. 8 House Vote After Whipping Against Legislation FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 9, 2011

Washington, D.C. - Reps. Raúl M. Grijalva and Keith Ellison, co-chairs of the Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC), today hailed the Feb. 8 defeat of a measure to reauthorize major portions of the PATRIOT Act.

Rules

PENIGMA RULES

1. We are here for discussion and debate.

Citing factual sources is encouraged, and critical reasoning is prized here. Spam comments will be removed. Harassment, intimidation, or interference will not be tolerated.

2. Trolls and flamers will be warned; if they continue they will be banned.

Discourteous behavior discourages discussion and debate, and is contrary to sharing the widest possible range of view points.

3. We will try to be scrupulous in giving credit and proper attribution, and also in disclosing associations that are a potential bias.

We ask that you do so as well.

4. Courtesy is expected and required.

Penigma is NOT an 'adults only' blog. We deal with a range of subjects that include those which are controversial, and are of interest to mature individuals rather than young children.

We intend this blog to be suitable for readers under the age of 18. Therefore, a condition of participating here is that our comments be self-edited, avoiding obscenities or similarly vulgar, abusive, threatening, insulting, or otherwise objectionable language when expressing opinions. Substantive points can be made without it.

5. We welcome suggestions and corrections, either through our comment option, or by use of the above contact email.

This is a moderated blog; there may be some delay between writing a comment and when it is posted by an administrator. We will attempt to be as prompt as possible, but ask your patience.

We hope that you enjoy reading Penigma, and encourage you to share your thoughts with us and the Penigma readers in turn, even if you disagree with us. _________________
