Al Franken

I am so glad that Senator Murkowski and Senator Heitkamp are looking at this children's study.

We need to fund school reconstruction.

I find that incredibly disappointing.

I just don't think we are doing right by our original citizens.

I want American Indian kids having that dream.

In fact, the legislation authorizing funding for tribal colleges authorizes $8,000 for each Native American student.

My bill closes these loopholes.

These apps can be found online in minutes. And abusers find them and use them to stalk thousands of women around the country.

I just wanted to clarify that an Amber Alert would be--in Section 3 of the bill, we put in exceptions...

Will DOJ update its statistics on GPS stalking as soon as possible?

Senator Franken, thank you for your tireless and ongoing efforts to end violence against women.

My bill will institute regular reporting on GPS stalking.

This bill is just common sense.

Well, I really do not think Carrier IQ should be a model here.

The emergency exception and public safety exception are not limited to parents.

In 2011, I sent a letter joined by Senators Grassley, Klobuchar, Cornyn, Blumenthal, Graham, Whitehouse, Schumer, and Feinstein asking your agencies to crack down on these apps.

Stalking apps must be shut down. It is unacceptable that in this day and age companies are making money off of stalking.

this goes to the resources, because someone who feels like they are being tracked, saying it must be in this thing, what happens when they go to a police station routinely?

this is why we need and the bill does get resources for being able to do exactly what victims need.

We do not want to interfere with the legitimate parental monitoring apps, but we do want to block stalking apps that are pretending to be something that they are not.

I disagree with you that the reminder provision 'would be applied too broadly to all apps using geolocation data.'

Congress has been a strong partner in our national efforts to address this issue.

This is a hearing on my bill to protect sensitive location information, the Location Privacy Protection Act of 2014.

Do we want to completely deregulate money? Because that is where the Court is going.

In the name of the Founders, they are going to give us a completely unregulated political finance system.
