"The kind of man who demands that government enforce his ideas is always the kind whose ideas are idiotic." - H. L. Mencken

An article about a federal surveillance bill pending in the House called the FISA Reform and Reauthorization Act that, if it passes, will substantially expand the federal government's digital surveillance powers used to track digital communications unwarranted through its Section 702 database. Edward Snowden among other civil libertarians have criticized this measure as the biggest infringement on your privacy rights since the PATRIOT Act. Libertarians especially should be wary of this. This nakedly authoritarian bill should be strongly opposed and voted down. The future of freedom as we know depends on it.

An article from Reason magazine about taxpayer-subsidized cop training seminars in New Jersey that encourage cops to engage in arbitrary and illegal traffic stops. This is a blatant attack on the Fourth Amendment.

A Reason magazine article about Congress preparing to reauthorize a FISA Section 702 domestic spying program that has been misused by the FBI and has violated the privacy of American citizens by tracking their communications. Libertarians should oppose this.

An article from Reason magazine about an Alabama police officer put on leave after tasing a disarmed handcuffed man and violating the Fourth Amendment. America is a police state.
