Here are the 256 representatives that just voted to reauthorize and expand unconstitutional NSA spying:
House roll call on final passage of S. 139, 1/11/2018
The House of Representatives just voted 256–164 to pass S. 139, which reauthorizes the U.S. government’s mass spying powers under Section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act. They also voted down an amendment that attempted to fix the worst parts of the bill and limit domestic spying on American citizens.
The bill heads to the Senate this Tuesday, and we only need 41 Senators to stop the vote. A bipartisan group of Senators are already threatening to filibuster, as it does not include Fourth Amendment protections for innocent Americans.
Contact your Senators right now by texting FREEDOM to 384–387 (tell them to vote NO on cloture and NO on S. 139)!
These are the House Representatives (both Democrats and Republicans) who voted in support of reauthorizing and expanding NSA surveillance:

Just claiming that it's unconstitutional is going to ring hollow, because every single court who has ever addressed the matter has said otherwise (even the Ninth Circuit!), so you probably need to do more than just assert it.
Furthermore, this betrays an ignorance of the structure of FISA. The section that people think is problematic is Section 702. This bill does nothing to expand 702. The only things it does to 702 are restrictions. Instead, the part that it expands is traditional FISA (which has been around since the 70s, unlike 702, which came around mid-2000s). In traditional FISA, they go to FISC with probable cause that a target is a foreign power or an agent of a foreign power. What this bill does is expand the definitions of "foreign power" and "agent of a foreign power" to include certain international malicious cyber organizations (this is kind of like how they expanded it in the 2000s to include international terrorism). One can debate whether or not this is a good idea (I'm still on the fence; kind of leaning toward not liking it), but it's sheer ignorance to think that this has to do with 702 (which has been complained about recently) and not traditional FISA (which no one has complained about at all).
