Patriot, Today, the Senate Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing on reauthorizing Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), the program America’s spy agencies use to gather intelligence on law-abiding Americans, an unequivocal violation of the U.S. Constitution. There won’t be any whistleblowers this time. Just an assortment of “top officials” from the alphabet agencies: David Cohen, Deputy Director, Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) George Barnes, Deputy Director, National Security Agency (NSA) Chris Fonzone, General Counsel, Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Paul Abbate, Deputy Director, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Matt Olsen, Assistant Attorney General, National Security Division, (DOJ) It doesn’t take a crystal ball to see how this hearing will go: "Well, Senator, I appreciate your concerns about accusations of supposed past abuses of the 702 databases, but we have conducted a vigorous and thorough internal review. Those who might have mis-used the systems have been re-trained, and we feel confident America is safer today." Hearings like this one are never anything else. The truth is, of course, this is what the Deep State always says when they are caught red-handed. And when there is no penalty for them, they just double down and escalate their tactics. Remember, the FBI abused the “Section 702 Database” under FISA to spy on Americans over THREE MILLION times in just one year. They’ve concocted bogus investigations against politicians, against pro-life and anti-war activists, and even persecuted parents concerned about what’s going in our schools. And as whistleblowers have testified, all of this came at the expense of the legitimate work fighting sex traffickers, drug traffickers, and terrorists. Take a moment right now to send members of the Senate Judiciary Committee an e-postcard DEMANDING they hold the FBI and other agencies accountable for their misconduct. NO COMPROMISE, NO BOGUS “REFORM”: END SECTION 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act! The fact is, the Deep State is hell-bent on collecting every American’s emails, phone records, text messages, Internet searches, instant messages, online purchases, and social media posts. And they’re not letting anything get in their way. As admitted in the news, the NSA “deliberately ignored restrictions on their authority to spy on Americans multiple times in the past decade.” Take a moment right now to tell members of the Senate Judiciary Committee to SHUT DOWN the abuses of Section 702, which the Deep State has proven time and again it cannot be entrusted to use in “good faith.” And if you can, please also make a contribution of $100, $50, $25, $10, or whatever you can afford to help us inform and mobilize more patriots for this fight. For Liberty, John McCardell Executive Director Campaign for Liberty P.S. Section 702 of FISA – which allowed the massive collection of innocent Americans’ emails, texts, phone calls, and online chats to continue – is set to expire at the end of this year. If you and I turn up enough heat on Congress to stop reauthorization, I’m convinced we can bring the statists’ domestic spying programs to a crashing halt. That’s why I’m counting on you to please send your STOP THE SURVEILLANCE STATE e-postcard and make a contribution of $10, $25, $50, $100, or more TODAY!
