The 3 conversations the USA needs to have are about: 1) healthcare, 2) energy, and 3) immigration. Don't let media distract from the important things.

It restricts governments' use of real-time biometric surveillance in public spaces to cases of certain crimes, prevention of terrorist attacks and searches for people suspected of the most serious crimes."
