Protesters in cities across America will gather on July 4, 2013, to demand that the U.S. government adhere to its constitutionally dictated limits demanded by the Fourth Amendment.
The rallies are being organized by Restore the Fourth, a grassroots, nonpartisan, nonviolent movement spurred by revelations made by whistle blower Edward Snowden of the government’s widespread practice of spying on Americans without a warrant.
The July 4 demonstrations seek to demand an end to the unconstitutional surveillance methods employed by the U.S. government.
Libertarian National Committee Executive Director Carla Howell will speak at 12:30 P.M. at the Washington, D.C., rally being held at McPherson Square from 12:00 noon until 2:00 P.M. Libertarian candidate for Virginia House of Delegates District 53, Anthony Tellez, will speak at 1:15 P.M.

On July 4th, 2013 in Huntington Beach, California. Oath Keepers of Orange County joined the “Restore The Fourth” rally at the annual Huntington Beach 4th of July Parade. Oath Keepers members joined with Tea Party activists, Rebellious Truths, Occupy Orange County, Campaign For Liberty Orange County, and many others marching and chanting “NSA Go Away, Civil Rights Are Here To Stay! and demanding that the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution be restored.
