A few days ago Congress passed the Intelligence Authorization Act for 2015. The congressional leadership wanted to pass it with a voice vote which would mean it would have passed with no debate and no record of who voted for and against the bill, but fortunately Rep. Justin Amash demanded a role call vote so we can see which turds voted for this bill. What's so terrible about this bill you ask? It allows intelligence agencies to acquire and store your data from "the cloud" (psst... they are already doing this), and more importantly it allows them to disseminate that data to any law enforcement agency. All without a warrant. Any data you have on Google drive or Dropbox or elsewhere can be turned over to the IRS, ATF, DEA, FBI, etc... without a warrant. Hey I got nothing to hide, right?
Look how all our wonderful Texas representatives voted:
