Dear Senate Democrats,

There will be no extension of the Police America Act (a.k.a. Protect America Act or P.A.A.). Despite your best efforts to the contrary, you somehow managed to hold together a filibuster and block the horrid intelligence bill, and the Republicans were dumb enough to filibuster every alternative including extensions.

There isn't enough time for an extension now. It will expire.

Republicans have all they need to try and portray you as opposed to spying on terrorists who will kill us all. Nothing you can do will prevent the attack ads this fall. Nothing. In the end, it won't matter that it was actually you who tried to work the bill through only to be thwarted by the G.O.P.; it won't matter when you're pictured with Osama Bin Laden on T.V. for 30 seconds while a guy with a mean voice utters Republican talking points over creepy music. So let it go.
