Vote NO on any bill that includes a clean reauthorization of FISA Section 702
To: Sen. Cantwell, Sen. Murray
From: A constituent in Seattle, WA
April 21
I strongly urge you to vote NO on any bill that includes a clean reauthorization of Section 702 of FISA.
Real reform is possible and has more support than ever. Several bills would do much more to rein in Section 702 surveillance and protect Americans’ privacy without hurting national security.
Americans must not lose their the rights to private communications guaranteed in the constitution because of a mass surveillance authority that provides federal law enforcement with backdoor access to them.
We live in a globalized society in which Americans are constantly communicating with people overseas. The FBI has proven many times over that it cannot be trusted with discretion to query communications collected under Section 702 of FISA.
Please, reform Section 702. Close the data broker loophole and end warrantless surveillance.
