Courtesy District Dispatch (http://www.wo.ala.org/districtdispatch/?p=5632):

At this writing, it’s the best of times, the worst of times…

The House of Representatives, which defeated H.R. 514, last night - will now have another vote tomorrow, Thursday, February 10th.

URGENT MESSAGE TO ALL HOUSE MEMBERS:   the H.R. 514 vote now scheduled for Thursday, February 10th, should again be defeated. Continue to vote against H.R. 514 and support proposals such as those in S. 290″ th at would better protect civil liberties and reader privacy, in particular, while extending the next sunset to December 2013.

MESSAGE TO SENATE  JUDICIARY COMMITTEE MEMBERS:  “Please vote YES on S. 290 in committee markup.  The bill provides reasonable changes to protect our civil liberties, including reader privacy protections, increases oversight and reporting while extending the sunsets until the end of 2013 to take PATRIOT debate out of election year politics.
