 Thank you for sharing. Made my calls 🫡 
 surveillance, racial surveillance that promotes divide and conquer benefits gov't not the people.  I've always been curious on this - isn't there an easier way then to call ? It feels so retro. If the lines are busy, how long do you have to wait ? Would the attempt of repeated tries deter people? How would we know for sure that the number of people who made the calls is an accurate number ? Do we trust the gov't? 
 Nope. They have not ever been trustworthy idk why anyone believes they have, except that they are retarded. 
 And this 
 Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

My view on the trustworthiness of voting, 
and even the abdication of my authority to those that countermand my wishes continue to diminish over time.

But I absolutely filled this out. 🤝

I will always have to interact with the state, and I will always look for ways to minimize it's impact on my life. 
 Washington DC continues to show that it’s a far greater threat to American liberty than anyone in Russia or China could dream of being. 
 Exhausting trying to keep the people who are supposed to represent us in check. Constant infringements little by little 
 Wow. This bill is so hush hush. There are two proposals on the table - one that severely limits 702 and one that greatly expands 702. There is no middle. It appears that Congress is going to quietly bundle an extension of the current FISA’s Section 702 into the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) which will allow them until April 19th of 2024 to make a final decision. 📜💖 
 Just wrote them. 
 Fuck that Jack. Kash Patel is going to use that shit and it's going to be fucking epic.  
 I’m not American, so not sure, but doesn’t the 4th amendment make this unconstitutional? 
 It’s been a while since anyone cared about that, so it seems… Especially in congress or government in general. 
 It creates a two-tier society where digital natives that are in control of their own communication equipment are less prone to surveillance than those than the non-natives that need to rely on the natives to provide it for them. I'm in the first tier so works for me. 
 So the House of Representatives are attaching the FISA Reform to a popular annual military reauthorization bill

 The House is trying to attach this bill to the annual military reauthorization bill (which is popular and sure to pass)

 
 We need to END this
