[Vision2020] Defund the NSA defense bill amendment voted on tomorrow

[Paul Rumelhart]

Rep. Justin Amash's (R-Mich) defense bill amendment will be voted on tomorrow.  What this amendment will do: "Ends authority for the blanket collection of records under the Patriot 
Act. Bars the NSA and other agencies from using Section 215 of the 
Patriot Act to collect records, including telephone call records, that 
pertain to persons who are not subject to an investigation under Section 215."

Let's hope that the bill passes with that amendment intact.
