POLIS: “WE MUST BEGIN RESTORING TRUST IN OUR GOVERNMENT”
Boulder, CO – Jared Polis released the following statement today on the recent compromise by House Democrats on FISA:
“If we, as a nation, are going to mend our reputation at home and throughout the world, we must begin by restoring trust in our government.
“Rushing FISA reform through Congress is not the answer. Congress must stand firm against allowing Republicans and the Bush Administration to violate the civil liberties of our citizens any more than they already have. Further, phone companies should not be given a pass and should be held accountable for their involvement in unwarranted wiretapping.
“The fear mongering tactics of President Bush and his cronies on Capitol Hill are tired; the American public now understands that we can have security at home while also protecting the civil liberties of our law abiding citizens.”
