BREAKING: FISA bill stopped from proceeding to House floor vote
Friend,
This is a little bit of a longer email, but I hope you take a moment and read
this in its entirety.
FISA authorities have been used to violate the law more than 278,000 times by
the national security state, and there have yet to be any consequences for this
illegal activity by our government. Therefore, I voted against the rule to
bring the FISA Section 702 reauthorization bill to the House floor.
The reauthorization lacks essential reforms to protect Americans' Fourth
Amendment rights, such as requiring the FBI to obtain a warrant before
searching Americans’ data and a prohibition on the government purchasing
Americans’ data from third-party data brokers.
Last year, in the House Judiciary Committee, I voted for a bipartisan bill
that contained necessary reforms to protect Americans from unconstitutional
searches. Unfortunately, Speaker Johnson has sided against holding a House vote
on that bill and is instead trying to rush legislation drafted in a way that
could expand authorities for the FBI to violate Americans’ right to privacy.
If Speaker Johnson is unwilling to fix FISA Section 702, we are left
wondering what he is indeed willing to fix. We didn't fix the budget or the
border. Now, the very authorities that we saw weaponized against President
Trump and the American people are poised to get enhancements under this
reauthorization rather than any of the reforms that are so desperately needed.
I have, and I will always continue to be, your conservative firewall in the
House. Whether it’s expelling McCarthy as Speaker of the House or standing
strong to protect Americans from warrantless searches - I WILL NEVER SURRENDER.
The vote was important, and the outcome was critical to our mission of keeping
Americans FIRST. With your help today – the fight will go on.

I don’t always do what’s most popular – I do what’s RIGHT.
Please, stand with me today and help me continue to fight. The Deep State
WILL NEVER STOP, and we can NEVER SURRENDER.

Thanks,
Matt Gaetz
