Rep. Yoho Votes Against CISPA

WASHINGTON—Congressman Ted Yoho (FL-03) voted against H.R. 624, the Cyber Information Sharing and Protection Act, known as CISPA.  After the vote, Congressman Yoho said,

“We have a right to privacy that should be protected whether or not a cyber attack is happening.  This legislation is written in such a way that it could invade individual privacy to a point that was unacceptable to me and many constituents who took the time to share their views on this bill.

“As a small business owner, I know first hand the challenge of protecting sensitive customer and business information. There are better ways to help businesses protect themselves without further government overreach.”
