Rep. Cammack Joins Rep. Boebert, Colleagues On Bill To Terminate The Department Of Homeland Security's Disinformation Governance Board

GAINESVILLE, FL — Today, Rep. Kat Cammack (FL-03) joined Rep. Lauren Boebert and 60 colleagues in introducing the Protecting Free Speech Act to terminate the Department of Homeland Security's Disinformation Governance Board and prohibit any federal funds from being used to establish or carry out the activities of any other entity that is substantially similar.

"As a member of the Homeland Security Committee, I'm deeply concerned about DHS' efforts to establish this Disinformation Governance Board. Americans' First Amendment right to free speech is foundational and any attempts by the federal government to declare what is right and wrong is deeply concerning. Such censorship should be stopped before it goes any further and I'm pleased to join Rep. Boebert and my colleagues in this effort," said Congresswoman Cammack.

"The Department of Homeland Security should not be in the business of censoring free speech on Twitter and Facebook. Following in the steps of Mao and Stalin, Biden’s unconstitutional, dystopian 'Department of Propaganda' is trampling on the First Amendment and trying to control what people can and can’t say. Instead of treating Orwell’s book 1984 as a warning, the Left appears to be using it as an outline for their agenda. These efforts are un-American and a direct attack on our freedoms. We the People will not be silent,” said Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03).
