Supporting the USA Freedom Act

Press Release

Today, Congressman Doug Lamborn voted for H.R. 2048, the Uniting and Strengthening America by Fulfilling Rights and Ensuring Effective Discipline Over Monitoring (USA FREEDOM) Act of 2015. H.R. 2048 includes reforms designed to strengthen privacy and civil liberty protections that are a part of the nation's intelligence-gathering programs operated under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).

"This bill will safeguard the civil liberties of Americans by limiting bulk collection of data and increasing legislative and judicial oversight of our intelligence agencies while maintaining a workable and more transparent framework for intelligence officials to protect our national security. I urge the Senate to move expeditiously on this legislation so that we can work to bring back the confidence of the American people in the way intelligence is gathered and protect the privacy rights of all Americans."

- Congressman Doug Lamborn (CO-05)
