InstaPoll: Accountability in the intelligence community

Nearly two years ago, former NSA defense contractor and CIA employee Edward Snowden released classified materials on the NSA's data collection programs to the media. Since that time, examples of overreach by the NSA have continued to surface, including reports that the Agency violated rules regarding the monitoring of telephone records and misled the court charged with authorizing such surveillance. Following these revelations, the House Judiciary Committee worked during the last Congress to end the NSA's bulk collection program by conducting oversight of intelligence-gathering programs and approving bipartisan legislation, which ultimately passed in the House of Representatives. However, the Senate failed to pass legislation on this issue. This week, the House Judiciary Committee introduced an updated, bipartisan bill that goes even further in strengthening oversight and improving accountability of the intelligence community.  This legislation, which Congressman Forbes is cosponsoring, ends bulk data collection under Section 215 of the PATRIOT Act. Additionally, the bill prioritizes transparency and information-sharing with the American people by creating a more robust government reporting system, whereby the Attorney General and the Director of National Intelligence will provide the public with detailed information about how they use these national security authorities. It also provides for national security by enhancing investigations of international proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. Question of the Week: Do you support legislation that ends existing bulk collection practices while also protecting U.S. national security? (  ) Yes. (  ) No. (  ) I don't know. (  ) Other.

Hillary's Bribery Scheme, The Clinton Foundation

Hillary's Bribery Scheme, The Clinton Foundation Weekly Update from Dinesh D'Souza Dear Friends, To begin, let me say thank you to each and every one of you that voted for America in the Dove Foundation's annual awards contest for the best family- and faith-friendly movies. Thanks to you, America won the award for 2014's Best Documentary! You can read more and see the full list of winners here. It's heartening to see that so many Americans still care about taking their children to films that highlight the exceptionalism of Christianity and America. Right now, if you order a copy of America to watch with your family, you'll not only be helping your kids learn more about what makes America great, but you'll also be helping students around the country gain access to this patriotic film. For every DVD purchased on the official America website, I'll donate a copy of the movie to a school or student! Thank you for all you do to help educate America's next generation of leaders. Hillary, on the other hand, cares more about lining her pockets. As her campaign continues, so do the scandals. In the latest, she is accused of accepting millions of dollars from foreign governments using the Clinton Foundation in return for favors during her time as Secretary of State and beyond. Meanwhile, more and more reports are surfacing of Bill accepting free trips and favors from billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, a 62-year-old registered sex offender with ties to child prostitution. Will Bill and Hillary continue to sell out for quick cash if they're back in the White House? I wonder what Hillary's asking price is for the United States. Let's see if Democrats have the decency to demand accountability from Hillary for her bribery scheme called the Clinton Foundation. While Hillary counts her cash and worries about "taking down the rich," ISIS continues to terrorize Christians in the Middle East. In the latest gruesome video, they behead two groups of Ethiopian Christians on the beach in Libya. Where is America's leadership in the Middle East and around the globe? ISIS seems to have a free pass, as long as they don't start bombing Obama's golf courses! Who could have predicted Obama's inaction in world affairs, spurning of our allies, and palling around with our enemies? Actually, I did! In Roots of Obama's Rage and Obama's America, I laid out a plan that Obama would follow, not authored by him, but by his anti-colonial father. How did I know this? Because Obama told us so himself. Click here to read the book that first predicted Obama's un-making of America. READ THE BOOK NOW Sincerely, Dinesh D'Souza P.S. This shocking video shows black racism on the street; can you imagine the media coverage if these guys were white? WARNING: Language, threats of violence, and racial slurs.

Ready Or Not, Here Comes Hillary!

Ready Or Not, Here Comes Hillary! Weekly Update from Dinesh D'Souza Dear Friends, Ready or not, here she comes! Hillary made her official campaign announcement last weekend, and I am officially getting ready for Hillary. This summer, I'll have a new book out with Harper Collins that tells the true story of American progressivism and how it has led to Obama and Hillary. Let there be no doubt: Hillary will continue the same militantly progressive policies that Obama has pursued. Perhaps an appropriate campaign slogan for her would be, "The Nightmare Continues!" Have you noticed that instead of having a vibrant primary contest that allows issues to be debated and candidates tested, the Democrats instead have an anointing process for their new Chosen One? Watch how the media downplays the fact that the GOP candidates are young and ethnically diverse while the sole Democrat is, well, white and old. I'm thankful that Saturday Night Live—after being informed that ‪‎Hillary‬ isn't black—has returned to its irreverent skewering of presidential candidates! Watch the clip from last week: I was on Newsmax TV yesterday to explain more about what we can expect from Hillary. Her stagecraft of late—would she really go to Chipotle if she wasn't running?—should be no surprise considering that the Clintons have always put on a show that is very different from the way they really live. Do even Democrats want an aging playboy and a ruthless power-seeker in the White House next? Watch the interview with Steve Malzberg: The good news this week is that America, the #6 most successful political documentary of all time, has been trending on Netflix! Have you watched yet? Stream the movie instantly here. This year, I would like to help as many students around the country see my film as possible. The movie acts as an antidote to the liberal indoctrination that happens every day in public schools and colleges. That's why I'm offering to donate a copy of the film to a school or student for every copy that is purchased on my website! So if you don't yet own your own DVD, now is the time to get one for you and get one for a student! ORDER NOW Sincerely, Dinesh D'Souza P.S. Who would have predicted 5 years ago that Obama would spurn allies like Israel and cozy up to Cuba and Iran? Actually, I did!

InstaPoll: Concealed carry between states

Recently, legislation was introduced in the House of Representatives to allow law-abiding Americans who have concealed carry permits in their home states to legally bring their firearms into any other state with concealed carry laws. Under the bill, titled the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2015, gun owners would still be required to comply with any concealed carry laws in any state they are visiting. This legislation was created as a common sense solution to the often confusing patchwork of state and local laws, which can pose a real problem for gun owners who may accidentally cross state lines with guns they are legally permitted to carry in their home states. Congressman Forbes supports the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2015, and has consistently voted to uphold Second Amendment rights. Question of the Week: Do you support legislation to allow concealed carry permit holders to bring their firearms into other states with similar laws? (  ) Yes. (  ) No. (  ) I am unsure. (  ) Other. Take the Poll here Find the results of last week's InstaPoll here.
