speech<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.restorethefourth.net\/\">Restore the Fourth <\/a>organization had a rally at McPherson Square in downtown DC on this July 4th afternoon. \u00a0 They had several excellent speakers &#8211; including the Libertarian Party&#8217;s Carla Howell, CEI&#8217;s Ryan Radia, Cato&#8217;s Julian Sanchez, and Code Pink&#8217;s Medea Benjamin. \u00a0(Other rallies are occurring across the nation.)<\/p>\n<p>The headliner was former National Security Agency executive<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Thomas_Andrews_Drake\"><strong> Thomas Drake<\/strong><\/a>, who risked his freedom to expose NSA crimes. \u00a0Drake would not cringe to the feds and he and his lawyers whipped the Justice Department in federal court. \u00a0 I am sure his courage and his victory helped encourage other whistleblowers.<\/p>\n<p>It was neat to see an American hero like Drake speak on the Fourth of July. \u00a0 He challenged the audience: &#8220;The government has given up on the Constitution. \u00a0Have you?&#8221; \u00a0 He denounced the feds for claiming a &#8221; license to seize first and search later.&#8221; \u00a0He warned that &#8220;the acid of government secrecy is eating out the heart of who we are as a people.&#8221; \u00a0He noted that &#8220;national security has become the state religion.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I assume his speech will be posted on YouTube. \u00a0 It is definitely worth watching &#8211; \u00a0especially at a time when other NSA crimes are coming to light.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s some photos I took
