A group of 21 Republican House members, including 10 freshmen, is calling on President Obama to re-sign a measure extending key provisions of the Patriot Act, three weeks after he directed that it be signed into law through the use of an autopen.

**Opinion**

I don't believe he should have extended all parts of the Patriot Act (official title is: "Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT) Act of 2001.")

Also, ever since 9/11, there has been an enormous raise in the cost of living. Not to mention a recession. Are these the types of things they think unify and strengthen America!? Oh, and how many interceptions or obstructions to Terrorism have we made with this Patriot Act!? I would think - not enough, to gratify the end results.
