We want to take a moment today, Thanksgiving, to express our gratitude to you our readers. We can see that many of you have visited us multiple times viewing our various updates. We are very grateful for your support.
We are grateful for our country, our freedoms, and the right to vote and to voice our opinions.
We are also grateful to Senator Lee for the work he has done recently. Working in a bipartisan effort, he has helped introduce a bill for Secure Privacy Protection. This bill is aiming to amend some of the governmental powers to spy on its citizens granted under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, such as being able to monitor to personal phone calls and e-mails. The creators of the bill say there needs to be a better balance between obtaining the information to keep people safe and disregarding privacy rights granted to them by the Constitution. You can learn more about the bill by clicking here.
Senator Lee also recently reintroduced the SCREEN Act, which is aimed to limit access to pornography by young children. Similar acts that Senator Lee has advocated have passed before, but when challenged in the Supreme Court, they have been overturned on the grounds of not meeting the least restrictive means test. The Supreme Court did concede that the government does have a responsibility to protect children from pornography, so this bill is meant to both provide those protections and meet the law’s requirements. You can learn more about this bill by clicking here.
These efforts show Senator Lee would make an excellent president.
Happy Thanksgiving from Seniors for Responsible Government
From “Overcoming Ingratitude” delivered January 11, 1994 at Brigham Young University, while Rex Lee (1935-1996) was serving as President of BYU and Mike Lee was serving as student body president.
Mike Lee should run for president. He’s right on the money.
Thank you for visiting! Please visit us again on Pearl Harbor Day, Thursday December 7, for our next update.
