July 5, 2013 (San Diego)—Several hundred people from across San Diego County, including East County residents, held a rally and march through Balboa Park to the National Security Agency (NSA) surveillance of Americans’ phone and internet records.
What compelled San Diegans to protest in the park on July 4, rather than going to a picnic or barbecue? The activists are calling for restoration of Fourth Amendment rights to freedom from unreasonable search and seizure—rights born out of our founding fathers' struggle to win independence against tyranny.
