On Technology: FISA Reform erodes our fundamental right to privacy

Phil Anderson has issued a fervent plea to the US Congress to reject the proposed FISA Reform and Reauthorization Act. Anderson asserts that the Act poses a significant threat to the privacy and civil liberties of American citizens, undermining the principles upon which the nation was founded. The legislation, aimed at reforming the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), has raised alarms among privacy advocates who argue that it grants excessive surveillance powers to government agencies without sufficient checks and balances.

"The FISA Reform and Reauthorization Act represents a perilous erosion of our fundamental right to privacy," declared Anderson. "This proposed legislation expands the surveillance capabilities of intelligence agencies without adequate safeguards."

Anderson pointed to the potential abuse of power and the infringement on the Fourth Amendment rights of Americans as reasons for his strong opposition to the Act.

On Corporations: Work with small business to rebuild Wisconsin's economy

Q: Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?
    A:
  1. We need to rebuild Wisconsin's economy by working with small business owners, and trusting them to act in the best interest of their customers and employees.
  2. Wisconsin needs leadership, and the Democratic Governor and legislators have failed to provide leadership. I will lead parties in conflict to discussion and finding common ground.
  3. We need to rethink and reinvent public education, for the benefit of students and families. Families deserve more choices, and deserve to keep the resources necessary to best educate their kids.
