Our Democracy has become flawed. We have deteriorated to a pure partisan form of government with no regard for the problems of significance at hand.
The Congress is going to let the FISA bill go un renewed....yes it will expire beginning this weekend....if the Congressional leaders do not like some of the provisions why is it acceptable to not support the President's appeal to approve "something" that allows intense follow up of terrorist activity?
What message does it send to the people of the USA when the Congress walks away and leaves a hole in the security??
This is what happens when lawmakers run ammuck with no direction from the constituency....a constituency the lawmakers have come to be most assured will say or do NOTHING....hence the Congress gets to play the partisan game....REGARDLESS THE EFFECT ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!!!.

The silent majority gets what it deserves.....NOTHING. i GUESS WHEN A BOMB GOES OFF IN THEIR BACK YARD THEY might WAKE UP....maybe...if they survive.

We are headed to becoming an also ran nation if the trend continues....the majority just will not stand up and be counted!!!!
