NSA ton continue spying on American Citizens.

The U.S. house voted 217-205 to continue data gathering after former NSA contractor Edward Snowden revealed details of its scope. It seems unthinkable at a time when U.S citizens are needing more and not less protection from electronic eaves dropping. Our representative John Kline is assuring us that we need this for our own protection. It rings loudly of McCarthyism; Create an invisible enemy and assure us that we will be protected.  Of course 911 was a real act of terrorism.  So were the Boston bombings and previous bombings at the World Trade Center and Oklahoma city.  Apparently, it’s not real terrorism unless it’s connecting to big oil interests in the Middle East. Government reports are simply not creating a consistent message. The American people are entitled to more than a simple "trust me". It is equally distressing to me that our DFL candidates are not using this opportunity to speak out for American Citizens.  Nothing is more important to liberty and individual liberty than free speech.  Anyone claiming to represent the people needs to speak up.
