In the clip below Congressman Sensenbrenner, the author of The Patriot Act, explains why he is against the NSA spying on innocent citizens who are not under investigation (i.e.,You).
The Justin-Amash amendment cut off funding to the NSA for this unconstitutional search and seizure. It would still allow the NSA to spy on legitimate suspects under specific investigation. Your Congressman, Lamar Smith, voted against the Justin-Amash amendment, and he voted for the continued funding to spy on You!
