Dear Chairman Priebus:
As Republicans who are familiar with the threat that terrorism still poses to this country, we are compelled to dissent from the ill-considered resolution adopted by the Republican National Committee on January 24 by voice vote.
The Republican National Committee plays a vital role in political campaigns, but it has relatively little expertise in national security. Unfortunately, that lack of expertise is on full display in the resolution. The RNC condemns “the secret surveillance program called PRISM,” and claims that it “monitors [the] searching habits of virtually every American on the internet.” In fact, there is no program that monitors the searches of all Americans. And what has become known as the PRISM program is not aimed at collecting the communications of Americans. It is targeted at the international communications of foreign persons located outside the United States and is precisely the type of foreign-targeted surveillance that Congress approved in 2008 and 2012 when it enacted and reauthorized amendments to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.

ReplyDeleteSo, Snowden's physical paper proof is just fantasy, huh?
ReplyDeleteOkay, we "believe" you!
Sorry folks.. no matter what about this debate... The government in lieu of NSA and IRS has shattered my confidence and more importantly, my trust...in the government. The use of federal agencies to spy upon and threaten those with opposing political views is emphatically...criminal!
ReplyDeleteTo even write this small comment on a blog gives me pause to consider whether or not I am opening myself up to government "inspection"
Plain and simple, I now fear my government.
