Thomas Drake: Restore The Fourth Amendment

McPherson Square, Washington DC, July 4, 2013. Progressive and libertarian social justice activists unite in a rally to protest US government violations of constitutionally protected 4th amendment privacy rights and the persecution of whistle blowers. Speakers included Medea Benjamin of Code Pink, NSA whistleblower Thomas Drake and many others. My crowd estimate was around 300. Despite harping to the contrary by corporate media at the event (and "DC" lifestyle bloggers online before it even happened...), the rally was a wonderful "fun" way to spend the 4th of July, right up there with the Bicentennial 'Moonie' fireworks extravaganza. The folks who organized this event are real superstars in my book.
