Congress Passes Bill Which Grants “Unlimited Access to Communications of Every American

According to Congressman Justin Amash, Congress just passed a bill which grants the government and law enforcement “unlimited access to the communications of every American”.

When the Michigan lawmaker discovered that the Intelligence Authorization Act for FY 2015 had been amended with a provision that authorizes “the acquisition, retention, and dissemination” of all communications data from U.S. citizens, he desperately attempted to organize a roll call vote on the bill.

However, the legislation was passed yesterday 325-100 via a voice vote, a green light for what Amash describes as “one of the most egregious sections of law I’ve encountered during my time as a representative”.

The bill allows the private communications of Americans to be scooped up without a court order and then transferred to law enforcement for criminal investigations.

The legislation effectively codifies and legalizes mass warrantless NSA surveillance on the American people, with barely a whimper of debate.

Read the full text of Congressman Amash’s letter below, which was sent out before the bill was passed.

Do this , I did , get a sheet of paper , on the left side write pro government on the right side pro citizen , look back at most bills passed since the patriot act and see how many favor the citizen and how many favor the government ... everything they do is against us ...

[jerry]

we should be able to do that w/o writing it down due to the fact that the citizen side is a blank slate
