Washington, DC—Reps. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) and Scott Perry (R-PA), both founding members of the Fourth Amendment Caucus, introduced legislation today to permanently codify protections on Americans’ privacy. Last month, the NSA announced it is ending its collection of Americans’ Internet communications that merely mention identifying terms for foreign targets, but are not to or from those targets, also known as "about" surveillance. The legislation introduced today would permanently codify this policy change into law. Gabbard and Perry, both veterans of the Iraq War, also co-chair the Post 9/11 Veterans Caucus.

"To whom?"
Oh...about 81% of the people in the USA.

Of course everybody hates Congress as a whole, yet we keep reelecting the people in our districts.

Exactly... So who are the dysfunctional ones in this equation? Certainly not congress. They have a winning formula that works perfectly for them.
