I am writing to you today as a constituent to respectfully urge you to oppose the reauthorization or reenactment of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), specifically Section 702, in its current form. While national security is a paramount priority, the recurring "backdoor search loophole" has allowed for the warrantless surveillance of American citizens, a direct contradiction of our Fourth Amendment protections. As a lawmaker committed to the principles of limited government and individual liberty, I trust you recognize the danger of maintaining a system that lacks robust, transparent judicial oversight.  Recent history has shown that these powers are too easily weaponized against political dissent and used to bypass the constitutional requirement for a warrant. Any intelligence tool that treats law-abiding Americans like foreign adversaries undermines the very freedom it is meant to protect.  I ask that you stand firm on the following points: • Warrant Requirements: Oppose any reenactment that does not mandate a specific warrant for queries involving U.S. persons. • Accountability: Support measures that penalize the misuse of surveillance data. • Privacy First: Ensure that government overreach is curtailed in favor of the Bill of Rights. The American people deserve a security strategy that respects the Constitution rather than one that treats it as an obstacle.
