Geneva Liberty Group’s event “1984 Day Rally to ‘Restore the Fourth’ amendment attracted about sixty attendees on August 4th, 3:00-5:00 PM, at Cesar Chavez Park located in heart of the Downtown of Sacramento. The nationwide movement ‘Restore the Fourth’ has been drawing attention of people against the National Security Administration’s surveillance program to preempt any threat to America. The rally was one of about 50 peaceful demonstrations in cities across the country. Pieter Singh, one of the organizers, declared that the rally was to correct ongoing oppression of N.S.A, and rebuke the oppressor boldly. “Our organization seeks to secure individual liberty as the solution to ills affecting mankind, support self-government, and oppose oppression anywhere in the world.” It is believed the movement originated on Reddit hardly a month ago. NSA’s unreasonable searches and seizures, almost all speakers emphasized, violate Fourth Amendment. Steve Macias, executive director of Cherish California Children and vice president of California Assembly referred to George Orwell’s novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four, to highlight tendency of the Obama administration for a totalitarian control of Americans’ liberties. Most speakers acknowledged Bradley Manning and Edward Snowden as keepers of Americans’ conscience in exposing the surveillance program of the federal government.
