Nathan Mayberg reports in The Daily Mail Congressman Chris Gibson said he is disturbed by reports the National Security Agency has been spying on Americans by storing phone records, emails and Internet activity. Gibson said, “It is imperative that as we protect our national security, we do not give up the rights that define us as Americans.” Gibson, a retired U.S. Army colonel, was one of 20 representatives to sign a June 6 letter to the FBI and NSA seeking more information about the report that phone records of Verizon customers be turned over to the NSA. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand spoke about the domestic surveillance issue to the press, Mon., June 10. She indicated she will thoroughly review the NSA’s actions. Gillibrand said, “I am going to look at this very carefully, so that I am satisfied that civil liberties aren’t being breached in pursuit of keeping us safer.” Gibson voted against the reauthorization of parts of the Patriot Act and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Gillibrand voted to reauthorize the Patriot Act in 2011. Read the full story in The Daily Mail.
