Sir or Madame,

 

I am writing to let you know I OPPOSE any FISA reauthorization that gives the federal government the power to spy on American citizens without a warrant.

 

Under no circumstances is it acceptable or constitutional for the government to spy, without a warrant, on its own citizens. This power has been abused at scale by the federal government under the existing FISA authorization and must be removed.

 

That's why I can only support FISA reauthorization if it includes provisions that require a warrant to authorize reviewing data or activities by Americans. We must also safeguard the personal information or communications of Americans so that it cannot be obtained without a warrant. 

 

This is a fundamental, Constitutional right of Americans. I urge you to vote NO on FISA reauthorization unless it clearly prohibits spying on American citizens as Sen. Paul's amendments do.

 

Sincerely,

 

A Patriotic, American Taxpayer
