During the February 13 debate on electronic surveillance, Rep Rush Holt (NJ-12)urges the House to reject a temporary extension of the Protect America Act. Instead Holt supports a bill passed in November that would provide the Intelligence Community with the tools it needs to conduct surveillance of foreign targets outside the United States, while restoring individual rights protections.

  • Rep. Holt is the Congressman in my district. I've supported him since I've lived here, and will continue to do so.

  • The ongoing fascism/corporatism that has emerged will find an end when the people become more and more aware and push back in great numbers far beyond what the few oppressive elite can manage.Through peaceful approaches the country could be brought to a stand still when the citizens say no more.The interwoven threads of freedom,liberty and justice connect us all as Americans.We will prevail through cooperation for a common cause-to return the government back to the people.

  • god i hate these orwellian names for legislation.

  • I like this guy

  • It seems that Mr. Holt has had the awakening. He has opened his eyes to the full realization that a police state has emerged in this country, one where individual freedoms are trampled upon and tyranny rules the day. One can only hope and wish that more "Mr. Holts" will stand up against the present administration.

  • I look at all these comments and just a year ago anyone with a 9/11 was a inside job would have a negative mark. Now its the other way around. When people start to see how our government is treating its people, we the people start to react back. I just pray its not a violent act.

  • I am just a little surprised that Holt would come out and give a speech like this. I had him pinned as a socialist. I now stand corrected. He has got my seal of approval; for what it is worth.

  • Wow I thought politicians forgot this a long time ago.
