Dear John,
 

Congress is set to reauthorize portions of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, legislation critical to America’s ability to monitor national security threats.

We live in an exceptionally dangerous world under great duress by the actions of emboldened dictators and foreign terrorists. Many wish to do harm against the United States and our people, and we must be able to protect ourselves effectively. Likewise, we must also preserve and protect Americans’ right to privacy from the Federal government.

I’d like to know how you feel about this issue. How should we balance protection against foreign threats and constitutional privacy protections?

Let me know here.
