Statement on FISA
This Friday, legislation was passed that will take away
constitutionally guaranteed rights. The FISA bill strips Americans of
these rights and protects telecommunications companies from being held
accountable by the people.
I am standing up against my own party because I believe we can have
sound legislation that defends our country and, at the same time,
protects our Constitution. If we are to hold our government
accountable, retroactive immunity is the wrong path to go down.
It's time to support Democrats with democratic values and
principles, Democrats who will work on behalf of the American people
and protect their rights. When I'm elected to Congress, I will be that
Democrat.
