Guarding Your Private Life from Government and Corporate Intruders
The core of American liberty is the right to be left alone. Whether it is overreaching politicians poking into your private life or multi-billion dollar tech giants tracking your every move, your personal freedom is under assault.
Missourians have a proud tradition of independence. We believe that Washington has no business dictating how you run your household, what happens in your doctor’s office, or how you raise your family. True liberty means protecting your absolute right to privacy from both government overreach and corporate greed.
Our Priorities for Protecting Personal Liberty
1. Safeguarding Healthcare Privacy and Reproductive Freedom
Medical decisions belong to patients, their families, and their doctors—period. The government has no right to criminalize private healthcare choices, ban access to birth control, or restrict families from utilizing IVF to fulfill their dreams of having children. We need federal protections that establish a firm wall of privacy around medical records, ensuring that personal healthcare decisions remain private and free from political interference.
2. Defending Digital Privacy and Stopping Big Tech Tracking
Right now, massive Silicon Valley corporations are tracking your location, harvesting your personal messages, and selling your private data to the highest bidder without your explicit consent. We will fight for a comprehensive Federal Digital Bill of Rights. You should own your data. We must pass strict laws forcing tech giants to give citizens an easy, universal way to opt out of tracking, while heavily penalizing companies that leak or exploit consumer information.
3. Protecting Seniors and Families from Financial Surveillance
As our financial system increasingly moves online, everyday citizens are vulnerable to unauthorized financial surveillance and predatory scams. We must block attempts by federal agencies to spy on the lawful bank accounts of everyday citizens, while simultaneously cracking down on data brokers who harvest financial information to target vulnerable seniors and working families. Your wallet is your business.
4. Ending Unwarranted Government Mass Surveillance
National security is critical, but it should never come at the expense of our constitutional rights. For years, federal agencies have used legislative loopholes to conduct warrantless surveillance on American citizens, bypassing the Fourth Amendment. We will vote to close these loopholes and reform intelligence laws, ensuring that federal law enforcement must obtain a specific warrant from a judge before accessing the communications of any American.
The Bottom Line
Freedom isn’t a partisan talking point; it is a fundamental right. By drawing a hard line against both big government intrusion and corporate data exploitation, we can ensure that every Missourian has the freedom to live their life securely, privately, and on their own terms.
