Internet Infrastructure Coalition (i2Coalition) Statement on Reps. Amash and Conyers’ Amendment Limiting NSA Surveillance Activities

Washington, DC – Internet Infrastructure Coalition (i2Coalition) Co-Founder and Board Chair Christian Dawson today released the following statement on an amendment put forth by Congressmen Amash and Conyers to curtail the NSA’s surveillance practices:

“It is unfortunate that Congress voted today against the privacy of American citizens. The Amash/Conyers amendment would have ensured that our country and citizens are safe from outside threats without having their lives intruded upon by an overly aggressive National Security Agency. We applaud Representatives Amash and Conyers for their leadership in protecting the privacy of Americans, and call on all members of Congress to come together on future legislation to do the same.”
