Subject: Support for H.R. 8470, the Surveillance Accountability Act
Dear [Representative's Name],
I am writing as your constituent to urge your support for H.R. 8470, the Surveillance Accountability Act.
The importance of this legislation transcends partisan divides. Right now, the government can buy and search Americans’ private data—including location, financial records, and even information about our beliefs—without a warrant, judge, or oversight. This bill closes that loophole, and holds those who violate our Fourth Amendment rights accountable.
As a member of the House, I urge you to co-sponsor H.R. 8470.
Sincerely,
[Your Full Name]
[Your Address]
[City, State, ZIP Code]

On April 23, 2026, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) introduced the Surveillance Accountability Act, which would require government searches to be conducted with a warrant based on probable cause, in accordance with the Fourth Amendment. The Ludlow Institute's founder, Naomi Brockwell, helped draft the bill in coordination with Rep. Massie's office, ensuring it is grounded in both constitutional principles and the realities of modern surveillance technology.
