House Bill Goes Unnoticed

As a country, we all felt anger and the need for retributuion for the attacks on 9/1/2001. President Bush installed questionable practices of domestic surveillance. With the press dealing with the Healthcare Reform bill, Cyber Security bill, and Michael Jackson's death, there is a piece of legislation that goes unnoticed. H.R. 640. Introduced January 22, 2009 by Rep. Flake to the House, it is a request for all informationand sources of domestic surveillance. "To require the President to transmit to Congress a report on every program of the Federal Government that authorizes or requires the gathering of information on United States persons in the United States, established whether in whole or in part pursuant to the `all necessary and appropriate force' clause contained in the Authorization for Use of Military Force (Public Law 107-40). " " Pub.L. 107-040 To authorize the use of United States Armed Forces against those responsible for the recent attacks launched against the United States. NOTE: Sept. 18, 2001 - [S.J. Res. 23]" For more info: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:H.R.640: http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=107_cong_public_laws&docid=f:publ040.107
