PATRIOT/USA followup: we lost in US Senate

Fri Oct 12 15:01:49 UTC 2001

Late last night (EDT) we lost badly in the US Senate, on all three 
votes.  [not voting can sometimes be an indication of concientious 
objectors, but in the case it just looks like the geriatric set.]

Vote 299                Vote 300                Vote 301
