    Proud to be Alaskan / Freedom is bipartisan!
    I’m very happy that my Representative, Don Young of Alaska, joined (or maybe led) 37 other Republican Congressmen in voting yes to force the feds to go get a regular court order if they want library and bookstore records.

    What we read deserves at least that much protection. Now we have to work on our Senators!

    It was also heartening to see North Carolina Rep. Walter “freedom fries” Jones support this very reasonable amendment.

    I’m proud of Congress too. Hurrah for our freedoms. I’m feeling a bit encouraged.
