WASHINGTON, DC - Congressman Tom Tiffany (WI-07) expressed his opposition to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for FY24, citing concerns about the lack of transparency in its creation and the potential infringement on Americans' privacy rights.
In a statement released today, Congressman Tiffany highlighted his previous support for the bipartisan House NDAA, which included a pay raise for military personnel. However, he expressed disappointment with the final version of the bill, which he believes was drafted without proper public scrutiny.
"The final version we considered today was unfortunately crafted behind closed doors," said Congressman Tiffany. "This lack of transparency undermines the democratic process and prevents important discussions from taking place."
One of the key issues that led to Congressman Tiffany's decision to vote against the NDAA was the inclusion of provisions that allow for the surveillance of Americans without warrants. He strongly opposed this violation of constitutional rights and emphasized the need to protect the privacy of American citizens.
"I cannot and will not vote to allow the federal government to continue engaging in the unconstitutional and widespread warrantless surveillance of American citizens," stated Congressman Tiffany.
By voting against the NDAA, Congressman Tiffany aims to send a message that the government must prioritize the protection of civil liberties and adhere to the principles of the Constitution.
This decision aligns with his commitment to upholding the rights of the American people and ensuring that government actions are accountable and transparent.
As the debate on national security and privacy rights continues, Congressman Tiffany's stance serves as a reminder that safeguarding individual freedoms must always be a top priority.
