So-called Patriot Act Renewal Blocked, Thanks to Rand Paul

The Senate blocked reauthorization of the Patriot Act early Saturday, and left for Memorial Day recess without a clear plan to reauthorize the bill before it expires May 31.

Senators rejected both a two-month extension of the bill the National Security Agency uses to justify its bulk collection of phone data, and a reform bill that would make phone companies responsible for keeping the data.

…

Republican Sen. Rand Paul, who is running for president, and largely responsible for preventing the Senate from agreeing to even a 24-hour extension of the bill, lauded the delay. “I am proud to have stood up for the Bill of Rights,” he tweeted Saturday. “But our fight is not over.” (RELATED: Rand Paul Filibuster Ends After Nearly 11 Hours)

Rand Paul, son of Congressman Ron Paul, is having a money blast for to raise funds for his senatorial campaign. If you’re a friend of Liberty and supporter of Ron Paul and the idea of a Dr. Paul in the Senate and one in the House appeals to you, consider making a donation on Monday 6/28/2010. I will.
