FreedomWorks Statement in Response to House Oversight Committee Request for Facebook to Turn Over Information Related to Facebook Group

07/08/2019

WASHINGTON, D.C.-- In response to the House Oversight Commitee's recent request for Facebook to turn over copies of posts related to a page frequented by members of the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP), Jason Pye, FreedomWorks Vice President of Legislative Affairs, commented:

"Chairman Cumming's letter brings a lot of concerns. Certainly, the reported behavior of individuals on this Facebook page is unbecoming, to say the least. Facebook has a responsibility to protect the privacy of its users, even when they may engage in questionable behavior. Chairman Cummings' request is incredibly broad and troubling from a privacy perspective, as well as sets a troubling precedent. We hope Facebook declines this request."

Key Vote NO on the Orwellian "For the People" Act, H.R. 1

BY Adam Brandon

On behalf of FreedomWorks’ activist community, I urge you to contact your representative and urge him or her to vote NO on the so-called “For the People Act,” H.R. 1, introduced by Rep. John Sarbanes (D-Md.). The bill, which would be more appropriately titled the “Incumbent Protection Act,” includes several problematic provisions, many of which run roughshod over the freedom of speech and freedom of association protected by the First Amendment and privacy.

Support the Fair Chance Act, H.R. 1076 and S. 387

BY Adam Brandon

On behalf of our activist community, I urge you to contact your senators and representative and ask them to support the Fair Chance Act, H.R. 1076 and S. 387. Introduced by Reps. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) and Doug Collins (R-Ga.) and Sens. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), this bipartisan legislation would aid prisoner reentry into society and lower crime rates, by delaying inquiries into criminal history for federal job and federally contracted applications until the conditional offer stage.

Oppose the So-Called “For the People Act,” H.R. 1

BY Adam Brandon

On behalf of our activist community, I urge you to contact your representative and ask him or her to oppose the so-called “For the People Act,” H.R. 1. Introduced by Rep. John Sarbanes (D-Md.), the For the People Act would deter political free speech and federalize elections. This is one of the more bold-faced assaults on the First Amendment that has come through Congress in quite some time.

TSA Caught Violating Civil Liberties (Again)

BY Samantha Debicki

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has created a secret watch list of individuals who they claim pose potential threats to airport security. This ridiculous “safety precaution” allows the TSA, an unaccountable government agency, to get away with unnecessary and invasive searches and violates travelers’ privacy rights.
