I call upon you to vote no on any bill that includes a clean reauthorization of Section 702.
We live in a globalized society in which Americans are constantly communicating with people overseas. We have seen many times that the Federal Bureau of Investigation cannot be trusted with discretion to warrantlessly query communications collected under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Americans should not lose their constitutional rights to private communications because of a mass surveillance authority that provides federal law enforcement with backdoor access to them. Several bills have been proposed to rein in Section 702 surveillance AND protect Americans' privacy WITHOUT hurting national security.
Reform Section 702. Close the data broker loophole and end warrantless surveillance. Your constituents are counting on you in this matter.
