Texas Greg Abbott: Obama Administrations Plan to Access Financial Data of Americans

First it was the administrations deceitful policy allowing drones to spy on Americans." Texas Insider Report: AUSTIN Texas  Although cloaked in the appearance of fighting terror - which of course all Americans are in favor of - in reality this exposes virtually all American citizens to having their personal financial files rifled through by unelected officials. This appears to be a blatant threat to the 4th & 5th Amendment principles and protections enshrined in our Constitution" said Texas Att. Gen. Greg Abbott following the Obama Administrations reported plan to give U.S. spy agencies access to financial information of American citizens.

The Obama administration continues to erode the Constitutional principles on which our country was founded. First it was the administrations deceitful policy that would allow drones to spy on Americans. Now it is attempting to give U.S. spy agencies access to the financial data of all Americans. We are a nation of laws not of men. This is just the latest demonstration of disregard by this administration. As Texas Attorney General I will continue to protect Texans privacy against an overreaching federal government."
