Rand Paul is trying to strip FISA 702 from the NDAA... Under Senate rules he needs 41 senators to agree
Twitter/X ^ | Dec 13 | Sen. Mike Lee

Tomorrow the Senate has the chance to remove FISA 702 from the NDAA.

The Senate rules can make this happen if just 41 senators agree.

FISA should be reviewed on its own merits—not the NDAA’s.

If you agree, please share & tell your senators to remove FISA from the NDAA!

Some good old fashioned FR Activism can happen here?

You can contact your senators about this regardless of party affiliation.

This is rare as I know many of you will have Rat senator(s) and no point in contacting them on many issues.

You want to ask your senators to OPPOSE the motion to waive Rand Paul's Rule 28 point of order.

Or to make it even more simple tell them you want FISA stripped from the NDAA and mention Rand Paul.

Good luck...

I miss the Ron Paul days when folks actually did get together and target issues in mass to make a difference.

“It can happen.... TODAY...

Yep... Sure can! But it takes a few minutes and a little effort. Seems no one can spare those anymore.

Will there be 41 people who have guts?
Probably not, we have ALOT of Rinos.

This FISA BS is what enabled the FBI and other agencies to go completely corrupt and opened up much of the corruption we see see today, the Russia, Russia, Russia Trump hoax was a perfect example. Remember Obamacare and how we got it, this is reminding of that and Christmas Eve is coming up.

REFERENCE “Deep State Surveillance Authorization” in Defense
Bill (NDAA); FISA 702 was used to spy on candidate Trump

The censorship group, NewsGuard, received a $750,000 taxpayer-funded grant from the Department of Defense in the latest National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

If a govt organization is suspected of having political bias, that’s unconstitutional. The US government cannot support that w/ tax dollars.

And this very pertinent point regarding the “outsourcing of censorship.”

NDAA SECTION 1532 “That which government is
constitutionally prohibited from doing, it cannot
contract with others to do.”

Congress must make sure that Section 1532 is preserved in the final version of the NDAA and that FISA 702 is removed.

They count phone calls not the messages. You write a letter and get a canned response if anything, you send an email and get a thank you for contacting your representative.

Congress needs to be a part time job 3 or 4 weeks a year. A do nothing Congress is far more productive then a full time one. Congress is considered successful based on how many laws it passes. Think about that. We don’t need any new laws we need common sense non lawyer people in Congress.

Oh I absolutely agree! And what bothers me is how many dummies out there think the same way they do.

“My Rep didn’t get anything through this session”.

Then that is actually GOOD you dummy!
