John,
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 NO on FISA.
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 NO vote was important. 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
