Vote NO on any bill that includes a clean reauthorization of Section 702. 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.  There are no excuses for any Member of Congress to support a clean reauthorization of Section 702. Anyone who votes to do so does not take Americans’ privacy seriously. Full stop. We live in a globalized society in which Americans are constantly communicating with people overseas. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has proven many times over that they 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.  Please, reform Section 702.
