Protecting Your Privacy 🕵️
You might've caught wind that I, along with 18 other Republicans
<[link removed]>
, stood our ground in voting against a rule that would drag an old surveillance
law back to the House floor for a vote. Why'd I do that? Because I won't
tolerate the FBI rummaging through honest Americans' private affairswithout a
warrant
<[link removed]>
.
For those of you not up to speed on FISA
<[link removed]>
, let me lay it out for you. Let’s say you have a roofer fixing up your house,
but little did you know he’s not a citizen. The FBI can comb through his
communication records, and if your number happens to pop up because you were
texting or calling him—you’re now fair game for their snooping.
Because of lax rules that have been repeatedly broken
<[link removed]>
, the FBI can conduct backdoor searches on the data it collects, even if it
includes information about innocent everyday Americans.
But don’t take my word for it; government reports show that the FBI has
performed tens of thousands of backdoor searches that break their own rules.
Victims caught in the crossfire includemembers of Congress

,journalists
<[link removed]>
, and even19,000 donors

to a congressional campaign.
If you ask me, we had no choice but to slam the brakes on this thing. It needs
a major overhaul before we even think about giving it the green light again.
FISA backers claim it's crucial for tracking terrorists, yet the southern
border
<[link removed]>
is a gaping hole, letting folks on theterror watch list
<[link removed]>
waltz right through. And does that ruffle their feathers? Not in the slightest.
There’s no way we’re going to let the federal government poke around in
Americans’ business without a dadgum good reason, and definitely not without a
search warrant. I won’t stand for it until we hammer out some real, tough
reforms that protect your constitutional rights, plain and simple.
So, as it is, shut it down.
Honoring Their Sacrifice 🇺🇲
<[link removed]>
It was a real treat and honor to greet HonorAir Knoxville's Flight 34 in
Washington this week.
For those who don’t know, their mission is to fly as many of our East
Tennessee WWII, Korean, and Vietnam vets to D.C. so they can see the memorials
dedicated to their service and sacrifice.Flight 34 had more than 100 East
Tennessee veterans on board, each with their own incredible stories of service
to our country.
As someone who comes from a family of veterans, I know the most important
thing we can do is show our gratitude every chance we get. I appreciate my
friend, Eddie Mannis, for all the work he does with everyone atHonorAir
Knoxville <[link removed]>
<[link removed]>to ensure our nation's heroes feel the
appreciation they deserve.
