Senator Blumenthal: Tough on the Issues

Look at Senator Blumenthal's Twitter page, for his views on the DoJ's subversion of the Free Press, the IRS attack on free speech and the NSA's spying on domestic citizens.

He is silent on those issues on his Twitter account.

Check his Facebook page for his views on these issues.

He is silent on these issues on his Facebook page.

Check his website for his views.  Check the Issues tab, and the Newsroom tab. He is again silent on these issues.

But the good news is this:

Blumenthal Issues Letter Calling on Nickelodeon to Prohibit Advertisements that Market Unhealthy Food to Children

That's quite a relief. For a second I thought he wasn't paying attention to some of the important issues of the day.

According to the NY Times Senator Blumenthal decided not to vote on the Patriot Act extension.  He voted for the extension of FISA

Himes Against NSA snooping except when he's for it

Jim Himes is Shocked! Shocked there is gambling in Casablanca!

He decries the overreach of the NSA domestic spying program but doesn't mention he voted FOR the extension of the FISA Amendments Act

“a law so broad and vague that, despite its passage four years ago, we still have little idea how the government is using it.” 

Good for Mr. Himes for voting against the Patriot Act. It's too bad his commitment to liberty didn't extend to voting against FISA.
