Only 63 Representatives (44 Dems) Stood up for Privacy Rights Yesterday

On Wednesday, the House voted 307 to 116 to pass the Protecting Cyber Networks Act, a surveillance bill dressed up like a cybersecurity bill.

Yesterday, the House passed another "cybersecurity" bill: the National Cybersecurity Protection Advancement Act of 2015.

This bill is similar to the bill passed on Wednesday (You can click the link above for a description of that one):
The second bill, which recently advanced out of the Homeland Security Committee on a voice vote, is similar to the cyber-networks bill, but it would use the Department of Homeland Security as an intermediary for sharing the electronic information. In return, companies would get protection from civil suits brought by consumers who think the information sharing violates privacy laws.
Today's bill passed 355 to 63
 
220 Republicans and 135 Democrats voted for it. 44 Democrats and 19 Republicans voted against it.
