Declare Your Independence From Government Spying

Rally and March to "Declare Your Independence From Government Spying"

Join us to express your outrage at, and to protest, government spying on the American people, and specifically the collusion of AT&T, Verizon and Bell South telecom companies with the NSA in providing our private records of telephone calls to them without a warrant. We now have evidence this has been going on for years, just one more example of the abrogation of our constitutional rights by the current administration, and their ongoing lawlessness. The administration claims it is just using this to track "terrorists". But we already know they are illegally spying on peace and environmental activist groups engaged only in constitutionally protected activity, and using illegally obtained information to track confidential news sources so as to intimidate investigative journalists from writing stories critical of the Bush administration.

We will have several speakers. Confirmed speakers at this time include: progressive lawyer Sally Stix, and Matthew Rothchild, editor of the Progressive magazine. After a rally at the AT&T building, we will march around the state Capitol during Farmer's Market, - so please bring apropriate signs, - ending up at another AT&T building at 44 E.Mifflin St.
