Congress risks provoking a voter backlash if we fail to halt the growth of the surveillance state.

The section of this bill prohibiting the federal government from using identifiers to monitor private transactions is necessary to stop schemes such as the attempt to assign every American a 'unique health identifier'.

The Freedom and Privacy Restoration Act halts the greatest threat to liberty today: the growth of the surveillance state.

Forcing parents to register their children with the state is more like something out of the nightmares of George Orwell than the dreams of a free republic which inspired this nation's founders.

The federal government has no right to treat all Americans as criminals by spying on their relationship with their doctors, employers, or bankers.

In a constitutional republic the people are never asked to sacrifice their liberties to make the job of government officials a little bit easier.

The primary reason why any action short of the repeal of laws authorizing privacy violation is insufficient is because the federal government lacks constitutional authority to force citizens to adopt a universal identifier.

I therefore hope my colleagues will join my efforts to protect the freedom of their constituents by supporting the Freedom and Privacy Restoration Act of 1999.
