Campaign Announcement
TARGETED.ARMY Launches the Cognitive Freedom Congressional Record
The August 2026 campaign asks every current member of the U.S. House and Senate for a public position on Cognitive Freedom and creates a record of their responses.
August 2026
TARGETED.ARMY announced the Cognitive Freedom Congressional Record (CFCR) in August 2026, establishing a national public-record campaign asking every current member of the United States Congress to state a position on Cognitive Freedom.
The campaign centers on a direct public question: where does Congress stand on freedom of thought, mental privacy, mental integrity and human autonomy? Each member has a dedicated record through which citizens and journalists can follow documented outreach and confirmed responses.
Making Public Positions Visible
CFCR provides congressional offices with an educational brief and requests an official position. Offices can supply an attributable statement explaining their views. The public record is intended to reflect what an office actually communicates, under a consistent methodology.
The campaign distinguishes support, opposition, undecided positions, statements of no position and a lack of substantive response. Silence is not treated as opposition. Offices may provide corrections or later responses so that the record can remain useful over time.
A National Question with Local Relevance
The project gives local journalists a way to follow the positions of representatives and senators relevant to their audiences. Member-specific records, campaign materials and attributable statements can provide starting points for independent reporting and direct questions to congressional offices.
The original announcement described a 42-day outreach process with scheduled follow-ups. A September 21 update subsequently extended the response period. The original timetable is part of the campaign history and should not be read as the current closing deadline.
Preparing Protections Before They Are Needed
CFCR's contribution is to make Cognitive Freedom a question of public accountability. As neurotechnology develops, a record of lawmakers' positions can help the public evaluate how institutions approach consent, mental privacy and protection against misuse.
