[AMA Request] A US congressperson planning to vote for revision/removal of section 215 of the Patriot Act (at minimum) on June 1st

Recently, a call to fight section 215 blew up on the front page, a bunch of people let it be known that they'd fallowed the link and contacted their congressperson. It was very inspiring. To keep the momentum going, I'm hoping people in congress will be similarly motivated to motivate others to stand and make their voices heard. Apathy is a big problem for voters and our democracy, so please help in motivating and help show people their effort, and vote, matters!

**So here are my 6 questions for a congressperson:

1. How long have you been in Congress?


2. Can you please explain what the NSA revelations since 2013 have meant to you (in terms of voting habits, revsions proposed, etc.)?


3. In your opinion, what is the best thing the average US citizen can do to support revision of the patriot act?


4. In your opinion, what is the best thing the NOT SO average US citizen can do to support revision of the patriot act (CEO's of big companies)?


5. What can people from other countries do to help in these efforts, as they are not constituents?


6. As many people are concerned that there is nothing they can personally do to prevent mass surveillance, how would you give them hope, and how do stay hopeful?

Thank you!
