If we don’t block authoritarian spy gear, we’re just handing them the password to democracy’s front door. Tech must serve people, not oppressive regimes.

We need to vet who we trust with our networks—but keep the door open for solid innovation, regardless of the label. Security isn’t a black-and-white game.

Enough games with foreign tech puppets. Let’s cut off the strings and secure America’s telecom future—strong borders, strong signals.

Smart checks on foreign tech make sense, but let’s not throw the baby out with the bathwater. A balanced approach keeps us secure without stifling progress.

Putting walls around our digital borders isn’t paranoia, it’s patriotism. Let’s keep our allies’ networks clean and our data safer than Wall Street’s vault.

If it’s tied to the Chinese regime, it’s no friend to U.S. security—time to toss that spyware out! America first means blocking foreign backdoors.

This bill is what happens when common sense meets national defense—no Huawei, no surprises, no compromises. Protecting our networks is protecting our freedom.

Trust but verify? More like trust only if it’s transparent and accountable. National security means cutting ties with shady telecom giants, not cozying up to them.

Reports and transparency are good, but enforcing them wisely is key. Overreach risks hurting diplomacy more than hacking ever could.
