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.

Dave Emory, who is very much into connecting dots, has done considerable research on Tulsi Gabbard: [google.com]
Specifically, he notes a radical organuization ("religious" whackos, no less) to which she has belonged for much of her life. Their leadership contains eugenics-supporting bigots. [spitfirelist.com]
Gabbard's military service gets mentioned a lot.
In case anyone starts mentioning her to you as a potential presidential candidate, be aware that she was a REMF. [google.com]

1. find her a curious mix, the rising star thing, like you said, BUT, that has been 'tainted' of late (in the eyes of the DLC, Deep State, conventional wisdom, etc...) by her opposition to syrian involvement, anti-drone stance, etc... *possible* she is simply another puppet for the puppet-masters to play, and is being given some credibility among the hoi polloi by these public stances against Empire... (see, obama, barack, community activist)
.
2. on the other paw, she might be a boy scout, er, girl scout who is a twue bewiever and really is tilting at windmills... surely she must know she is playing with dynamite if that is the case... Empire will brook only so much opposition to defuse the sheeple baring their fangs; but go too far, and Empire will bulldoze you out of his story...
.
3. as other posters say, hard to be too cynical when it comes to these types of 'restraints', etc, EVEN IF passed... WHO has been overseeing/enforcing that shit the last couple decades they were doing all the illegal shit they are no doubt still doing ? ? ? well, NO ONE, is the answer; exact same shit happens over and over...
.
4. lastly, while i respect her brass gonads and cranial folds, day-am she is a hottie...
