I introduced HR 8452 to reform the Espionage Act so that whistleblowers like Daniel Ellsberg who act in the public interest, are protected and guaranteed their fair day in court. Daniel Ellsberg is best known for his crucial work in 1971 to expose U.S. government conduct in the Vietnam War by releasing a top-secret Pentagon study known as the Pentagon Papers. In 1973, he was charged under the Espionage Act along with other charges of theft and conspiracy. Every Member of Congress who values freedom and justice should support this bill.

Every one of us as Americans are guaranteed basic fundamental rights enshrined in our constitution. We cannot take our freedoms for granted. I’ve introduced bipartisan legislation to stand up for and protect brave whistleblowers who have come forward to expose lies and illegal actions within our own government to serve the public interest — calling on the Federal government to drop all charges against Snowden and Assange. I’ve also introduced a bill to reform the Espionage Act to ensure that if a whistleblower is prosecuted under the Espionage Act, they will have their fair day in court — something that is not allowable under the law today.
Join me in urging Congress to pass this important legislation now.

Banning ballot harvesting should not be a partisan issue. It's been widely reported how this system has been used and abused in states like North Carolina and California with third parties collecting ballots and tampering with them or discarding them altogether. This is a threat to the integrity of our elections.
That's why I introduced HR8285, the Election Fraud Prevention Act with my friend Rep. Rodney Davis (R-IL) -- to protect the integrity of our elections & our democracy.

Al-Qaeda’s attack against us on 9/11 changed my life. Like for so many of fellow servicemembers, it’s what motivated my decision to enlist in the military — to defeat and destroy the evil that visited us that day. An evil that continues to threaten us today.
We must never forget the thousands of Americans killed on 9/11, the first responders who rushed into those crumbling towers to save lives, those who we have lost since, and my brothers and sisters in uniform who enlisted to defeat al-Qaeda and paid the ultimate price. Never, ever will we forget the heroes who sacrificed their lives to save others.
We can best honor these great Americans by caring for and treating each other with respect. We must heal the divisions that are tearing our country apart from within and come together around the unifying ideals and principles upon which we stand. E pluribus unum. Out of many, one.

Charges against Snowden should be dropped or he should be pardoned. Likewise the Trump Administration should drop its efforts to charge & extradite Julian Assange of Wikileaks (his extradition trial began yesterday). Failure to do so is a threat to the freedom & civil liberties of every American (especially journalists and publishers).

This ruling by the courts affirms our constitutionally guaranteed freedom and right to privacy. We cannot stand by as our civil liberties are undermined, even by entities within our own government. The NSA claims this warrantless mass surveillance of Americans was necessary for national security — which proved to be false. Those who abuse their power must be held accountable. Brave whistleblowers who expose them must be protected. Freedom is not free. We must stand together to protect it.

Mission complete. Just returned home from our Innovative Readiness Training (IRT) mission in Alaska with our amazing Civil Affairs team from the 351st CACOM. While COVID presented some challenges, it was a tremendous experience working with Alaska natives and residents of a very remote community to assess their critical infrastructure needs, and to see how the IRT program can help address them. They face similar challenges as some of our neighbor island communities, and they are taking action to solve them and move their community towards 100% sustainability and energy/food security. Even in the midst of the global chaos we live in, there are incredible and resilient people making things happen. Getting it done. Exciting things ahead! Posting times

Our nation is suffering from two major pandemic crises. Covid is destroying the lives of our loved ones and the divisiveness is destroying the heart and soul of our nation. Now more than ever we need to come together and defeat both. analysis
