Vote NO on Security Clearance Improvement Act of 2021

Rep. Mullin,

I urge you to vote NO on Security Clearance Improvement Act of 2021 or any legislation that discriminates based on political beliefs.

Political speech and association is a God given right protected under the US Constitution.

Representative Stephanie Murphy, D-Fla., a member of the House Armed Services Committee, will introduce legislation to disqualify security clearance applicants based on their political beliefs, preventing them from obtaining or maintaining a federal security clearance, which an individual must possess in order to hold a national security position and to access classified information.

It is beyond debate that freedom to engage in association for the advancement of beliefs and ideas is an inseparable aspect of the ‘liberty’ assured by the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, which embraces freedom of speech.

This is a blatant attempt to purge the government, military, and law enforcement of those who hold different political beliefs than the party which currently holds the executive branch and majorities in congress.

Additionally, the wording in this bill violates equal protection under the law, as it specifically targets people that are overwhelmingly law abiding citizens who desire liberty for all citizens of our Constitutional Republic, while ignoring those groups such as Antifa that are verifiably avowed of their intent to violently overthrow the government.

I appreciate your standing firm against any and all attempts to decimate our liberties and constitutionally protected rights.

Thank you and God bless you,
