Description:

In 2013, the House of Representatives voted to not stop the National Security Agency's (NSA's) mass surveillance of phone behaviors. We look at two predictors for how a representative voted: their party and how much money they have received from the private defense industry.

Variables:

• name - Name of the Congressional representative.

• party - The party of the representative: D for Democrat and R for Republican.

• state - State for the representative.

• money - Money received from the defense industry for their campaigns.

• phone_spy_vote - Voting to rein in the phone dragnet or continue allowing mass surveillance.
