Do you think it's necessary for the government to surveil the public?

Yes

Kind of/unsure

Agree or Disagree: The Federal Government's main focus should be on National Security

Duh how else can we live without fear

Civil liberties are important but national security should come before we get to that

We must protect the constitution at all costs because it is the foundation of our country

There's more to freedom than simple protection

Should the President be able to know information that the public doesn't know? (regarding National Security)

Yes, the president should have sole access

Yes, but only if others of high rank in the government know as well

No, we must prevent corruptibility at all costs

No, private knowledge goes against the core of democracy

How do you feel about The Patriot Act?

It's 100% necessary and effective!

Eh, it's needed but also needs to be modified

I'm undecided/idk wth The Patriot Act is

No, it is too vague and opens the door to corruptivity

Section 215 of The Patriot Act sanctions the seizure of “any tangible thing” without warrant that the government has reason to believe is affiliated with an act of terrorism -- how do you feel about this?

Tough but necessary

I'm in between yes and no

Umm it violates the 4th

How comfortable are you with the vagueness of the powers of the NSA or the DHS?

It needs to be vague so that the government has room to work

It should be vague but only towards non U.S. citizens, people on flight risk or who have history in terror related crimes, etc

They need to be somewhat general but could specify a bit more in relation to the powers they have when collecting data on U.S. citizens

They are too broad and have the possibility of breaching upon any person's rights, U.S citizens or not.

Should the public have the same access to information as the NSA and DHS regarding personal information about fellow U.S citizens?

No, leaking ruins operations and can threaten our safety

No, because the public could abuse that information

Yes because it can create the much needed transparency between the government and U.S. citizens

Yes because it will prevent any corruption from forming in the government
