    Hold your U.S. Representative accountable for backing Trump's warrantless surveillance!

    Petition to U.S. Representatives who voted for Trump's warrantless spying extension:
    I am deeply disappointed in your vote to reauthorize FISA surveillance without critical privacy reforms. I urge you to oppose any bill to renew FISA unless it closes the data broker and backdoor search loopholes.

    Trump and Stephen Miller's plan to ram through a bill to extend and expand warrantless government surveillance failed in the House late last night.1 But your U.S. Representative, , voted FOR it.

    Speaker Johnson held a vote on Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and a bipartisan coalition of lawmakers defeated the measure 197-228. In voting for the bill, your lawmaker failed to take a stand for civil liberties, the U.S. Constitution, and our right to privacy.

    Congress moved the deadline to renew Section 702 to April 30th, and Johnson will keep trying to reauthorize the spying law without any privacy reforms. It’s vital that we pressure lawmakers now to support closing surveillance loopholes. Tell that we condemn their vote rubber-stamping Trump's spying on Americans.

    Hold your lawmaker accountable: Tell that the failure to stop Trump's warrantless spying on Americans is shameful and dangerous!

    Before the vote, lawmakers in both parties said revelations in classified documents showed shocking secret Trump administration abuses of Section 702.2,3

    "I’m even more disturbed now about the secret interpretation of Section 702 that affects privacy rights," said Rep. Pramila Jayapal. "This information should be declassified before any reauthorization vote takes place. We have to protect the privacy rights of all Americans."4

    "The Constitution requires I vote No on FISA 702 reauthorization," said Rep. Thomas Massie.5

    Federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies exploit warrantless surveillance loopholes like the “data broker loophole” to bypass privacy rights, including by purchasing our sensitive private information from data collection companies. They also use the “backdoor search loophole” to circumvent court orders and search through billions of communications for information on people in the United States.

    It's important for constituents to ramp up the pressure on Congress now to ensure that the bipartisan effort to close these loopholes succeeds as Trump redoubles his efforts to maintain warrantless mass surveillance.

    Sign the petition: Condemn 's vote and demand support for closing the loopholes the government abuses to spy on Americans.
