The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. --4th Amendment to the US Constitution
Activists in Rochester, NY ranging in political scope from the Tea Party to the Green Party gathered on July 4 2013 to "Take Back the 4th." Not the holiday but the amendment. Recent spying operations by the Government recently revealed by whistle-blower Edward Snowden show that the Consitiution and the privacy of Americans are under assault. The transgressions have gone beyone the US government. State and local governments and private corporations have been complicit.
The event ended with a call for Americans get educated, stand up and stay engaged. We need to make the Constitution meaningful again. This movement will continue.
