Americans outraged by the federal government’s spying programs took to the streets on Independence Day for “Restore the Fourth” protests in an estimated 100 American cities, including New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Boston, Seattle, Memphis and Miami, plus international cities such as London and Munich.
The “Restore the Fourth” national protest was named after the Fourth Amendment, which was intended to protect Americans against “unreasonable searches and seizures.”

The NSA’s PRISM online surveillance program was exposed by Edward Snowden only weeks ago. Americans soon learned that at least nine Internet companies reportedly submitted to government surveillance of their servers: Google, Microsoft, Yahoo!, Facebook, PalTalk, YouTube, Skype, AOL and Apple.
“Restore the Fourth,” initially organized on Reddit, describes itself as “a non-partisan, unaffiliated group of concerned citizens who seek to strengthen the Fourth Amendment with respect to digital surveillance by the U.S. government.”

“The July 4th demonstrations seek to demand an end to the unconstitutional surveillance methods employed by the U.S. government and to ensure that all future government surveillance is constitutional, limited, and clearly defined,” the group explained.
“Restore the Fourth aims to ensure that the will of the people is reflected in the government of the United States of America. This movement intends to bring an end to twelve years of Fourth Amendment abuses, and demonstrate the need for a return to the Constitution. All Americans should stand with them in this cause to protect the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution.”
I have always lived in the southeastern U.S. and grew up with the idea that my nation was always in the right. When “hippies” would make derogatory comments about this nation I, like others, would become angry. Now I believe that I was on the wrong side.
You definitely were.
They don’t care and will do NOTHING…. There’s only one thing that needs to be done to get rid of these traitors….. and you KNOW what that is!
Time to arrest all of congress, white house and staff along with the federal judges.
Put them on trial for the crimes they have openly committed.
Hold real paper ballot elections to replace them.
It’s time people!!!
Amen to that brother.
and where the hell is the supreme court when the govt creates laws that are contrary to the constitution? where is the supreme court when it is acknowledged as fact that govt agencies are using and abusing these unconstitutional laws?
what this group really needs to do is to take a test case to that court, get some agreement from them that, yes, your 4th amendment rights were violated and the law is invalid.
I agree, but the NSA is hiding behind the patriot act. Legislators have slipped it in to overthrow the constitution and judges have betrayed the country. Please vote with extreme scrutiny.
When the founders created “Separation of Powers,” with the Executive, Legislative and Judicial
Branches of Government, they didn’t mean Separation of Power from the People.
Let’s break the Apocalypse and look a Obama’s face when we do.

Sir, please inform the world as to the difference between your anti-Jewish mindset and the worldview espoused by the NAZI’s? When you continually direct your attacks toward a group referred to as Zionist Jews are you blaming the Rothschild banking interests or Zionist Jews? Please be more specific. Many Jewish leaders are connected to a movement within Judaism, which follows the Luciferian teachings sabbatianism, that is an occultic affiliation not a racial identity. A vast variety of satanically directed secret societies exist and are jointly working to implement their ‘utopian’ vision of a New World Order.
As the end times prophesied so long ago unfolds, the Bible also predicts widespread anti-Jewish sentiment among the enemies of God, which side will you be on when the King of the Jews returns in defense of His people?
