This Week in Congress Update

The House Rules Committee made the Amash USA Rights amendment in order, so it will be voted on on Thursday when the House considers renewal of Section 702 of the FISA Act.

Campaign for Liberty members should call their Representatives and tell them to vote against any FISA legislation that allows warrantless wiretapping of American citizens.

In addition to the bills listed in yesterday’s update, the House will also consider the following bills under suspension of the rules this week:

1. H.R. 4581– Directs the Department of Homeland Security to develop the “best practices” for passenger screening and share those with other countries so the rest of the world can experience the hate of TSA. Then they’ll really hate us for our freedoms.

2. H.Res. 676– Congress expresses solidarity with the Iranian protesters and calls for government action against Iran including targeted sanctions, ignoring the fact that sanctions hurt the protesters more than the government and many anti-government activists do not want the “international community” to intervene.
