Restore The Fourth: Group Organizes Nationwide Anti-NSA Spying Protests On July 4

[Purveyor]

A group of concerned citizens has organized under the name "Restore The Fourth" and plans to protest what it calls "unconstitutional surveillance" at rallies across the U.S. on July 4.

HuffPost Live's Alyona Minkovski recently talked to Ben Doernberg of Restore the Fourth NYC about the group's NSA rally in Union Square on July 4 and how the group at large is demanding an end to all government programs that violate the Fourth Amendment.

Restore the Fourth

Restore the Fourth is a nonviolent grassroots movement protesting indiscriminate government surveillance and the erosion of Fourth Amendment privacy rights. Inspired by recent NSA scandals, Restore the Fourth is planning a series of demonstrations across the U.S to take place this coming July 4th holiday.


In New York City, an organizational meeting will held at 8PM this Wednesday, June 12th, in Washington Square Park (near the Garibaldi statue on the eastern side of the park). Although Restore the Fourth is not formally affiliated with Occupy Wall Street, we encourage occupiers to attend in order to share the lessons we've learned and show our comrades the practices which have been most successful. See below for more information.

Solidarity!

9. Still waiting...

There could be one. I don't know.

Or not.

The poster seems to assume that only Libertarians/Paulites have issues with the national surveillance state.

11. Here you go:

A youtube video of Rand thanking his supporters for putting together this "grassroots" promotion for him.

Very despicable that this thread promoting the Paul campaign is still up.

8. Think they started too late for the 4th of July protests. I hadn't heard about this until reading

the Iranian site FARS.
