Russ Fulcher: “This is not a priority for this Administration.”

I’m grateful to AARP Idaho for hosting this telephone town hall and giving Idahoans another venue to share their counsel, ask questions, and hear directly from me about the work being done in Washington, D.C., and what’s ahead in Congress.

If you chose, you could sign up for a market-based deal.

The reason for the lack of support has been because about 85% of the +/- $1.5 trillion in spending has been ear-marked for the SNAP (food-stamps) program.

I’m proud to sign on to this legislation to protect the privacy rights of Idahoans from increasingly intrusive surveillance data collection and to prohibit the widespread deployment of such surveillance tools with federal dollars.
