Vote no on reauthorizing FISA Section 702 before the June 12 deadline. The intelligence community wants a clean extension with zero reforms — that's unacceptable. This program has already been used to conduct nearly 3 million warrantless searches on Americans, with 278,000 conducted improperly in just 2021. Nobody was held accountable.
The surveillance apparatus has grown far beyond its original scope. Two years ago, the government quietly expanded its authority to force hardware stores, community centers, and churches to hand over communications to the NSA. Federal agencies are buying Americans' geolocation data, browsing history, and communications metadata from commercial data brokers without a warrant. This isn't targeted foreign intelligence collection — it's a domestic surveillance state funded by taxpayers.
The Carter Page case proved this system gets weaponized against Americans. Four erroneous FISA warrants were obtained against a U.S. citizen, and the DOJ had to settle with him years later. If Congress won't pass real reforms — a warrant requirement for backdoor queries, closing the data broker loophole, fixing the overbroad service provider expansion — then let Section 702 expire. No extension without accountability.
