Democratic Party Hero of the Day [View all]

This award goes to Rep. Conyers.

He supported the right of the people to be free from secret government spying today in congress. And he almost got the amendment passed that would limit spying only on those people who have probable cause to be spied on, and not you.

Thanks you Rep. Conyers. If only we had 400 more like you in congress!
