FreedomWorks President Matt Kibbe Asks Senator Lindsey Graham for His Email Password

Kibbe: “Respectfully, Senator, we ask you to lead by example and make your email password available to the American people. If you have nothing to hide, then you have nothing to worry about. Right?”

Washington, DC- At a press conference today, FreedomWorks President Matt Kibbe addressed the growing list of civil liberties violations that have surfaced in recent weeks, and extended an open invitation to South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham to walk the walk implied by his casual dismissal of the 4th Amendment to the Constitution. If he has "nothing to worry about," he should be willing to publicly release his email password. The petition can be found at www.LindseysPassword.com.

In a Fox and Friends interview last Thursday, Senator Graham defended the National Security Agency’s (NSA) warrantless surveillance of American civilians, telling the show’s hosts, “I don’t think you’re talking to the terrorists. I know you’re not. I know I’m not. So we don’t have anything to worry about.” Senator Graham then went one step further, concluding that he was “glad” the warrantless surveillance activity was happening in the NSA.

Kibbe commented, “Privacy is a citizen’s right to choose what information you prefer to tell the public about, and what you choose to keep to yourself. Senator Lindsay Graham recently asserted that violating the Fourth Amendment to implement warrantless government surveillance is not only acceptable, it’s welcomed. If we’re not talking to terrorists, we have nothing to worry about.”

“Respectfully, Senator, we ask you to lead by example and make your email account password available to the American people. If you have nothing to hide, then you have nothing to worry about. Right?”

Kibbe also announced that FreedomWorks will be mobilizing its membership to support of Senator Rand Paul’s class action lawsuit on the constitutionality of the NSA’s secret surveillance of American citizens. “FreedomWorks plans to help Senator Paul and the ACLU organize grassroots Americans to join the legal effort to defend our Fourth Amendment rights,” Kibbe added. “Taking on the Big Brother behemoth requires the voices of many individuals across the country, and FreedomWorks wants to help give those citizens a microphone.”

Today Boehner said it was just fine. He was pleased as punch about our phones being listened to.

I don’t know WTF is wrong with these people , but I do know we need to replace them. They are now a part of the Obama Gestapo.

They should keep hitting him with the request until Graham complies or admits he is an idiot. Humiliate this jerk.

(yeah I know “alinksy” tactic, I don’t care. RINOs need to be destroyed.)

two parties but the same goal.

keep power and their wealth while looking down on us.

Well enough is enough, vote all these bums out, have Sarah and Cruz take a new party and lets get the country back because I;m sick of the elitist ruling class telling us they represent us and then they give us millions of illegals to obamacare to spying on us to homosexual agenda

screw them

Lindsey’s idol Obama got this issue ass backwards, like he does everything. When the government doesn’t trust the people, the government has a problem. The government has decided we are the enemy.

Matt Kibbe, pretty interesting guy and I like the way he cuts through the nonsense and gets to the bottom line.

Can’t hardly wait to hear LG wail about this request.
