I know the vote to reauthorize FISA’s section 702 is coming up on Wednesday. I strongly oppose a clean reauthorization. I know lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are fearmongering so they can rush this so-called “clean” version through. They’re saying if it doesn’t pass Americans will be less safe because surveillance will “go dark.” That’s a lie. The surveillance section of 702 has already been extended by a judge for another year. There is NO REASON not to pass reforms that will actually help keep Americans safe. I want the data broker loophole closed and an end to backdoor, warrantless surveillance. Any lawmaker who votes for a clean reauthorization will lose my support, because they’ve thrown my privacy under the bus. I will be watching this vote closely. Thanks.
