"Our laws regarding freedom, privacy and civil liberties have not kept up with the rapid expansion of technology in today’s digital age.I look forward to working with the bipartisan coalition united behind this caucus to protect and strengthen the Fourth Amendment rights granted to each and every American under our Constitution.”- Rep. Tulsi Gabbard
“A caucus dedicated to defending Americans’ Fourth Amendment-secured rights is needed now more than ever, and its formation illustrates the growing awareness among the American public and their representatives in Congress of the far-reaching implications of the surveillance state. In the face of difficult circumstances, some are quick to pursue extreme, unconstitutional measures; the Fourth Amendment Caucus will be a moderating influence that gives voice to countless Americans whose rights are violated by these ill-conceived policies.” -Rep. Justin Amash
"Our founding fathers crafted the Fourth Amendment to withstand the test of time and protect our fundamental right to privacy, but they never could have anticipated today’s world of smartphones and connected cars. With rapidly changing technology and evolving security threats come constant pressures to shift the line between our privacy and acceptable government access to our information. It is time that that Congress had a formal, bipartisan group to share ideas and strategize how to keep that line in check. I am honored to stand with my colleagues today to launch the Fourth Amendment Caucus to keep privacy concerns at the forefront of our debates."- Rep. Ted Lieu
"Congress has passed, and continues to pass, dangerous legislation without regard for our Constitution. The Fourth Amendment Caucus presents a nonpartisan opportunity to discuss ways to protect our right to privacy."-Rep. Tom Massie
