  Subject: May 24: National Day of Outrage at NSA/Telco surveillance

  Some alternative media groups have called for a national day of protests
  against the telcos' latest sleazy activities, including their cooperation
  in NSA's illegal surveillance of innocent citizens.

  Events are already scheduled in Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, and
  NYC.  You can register your own local event by sending mail to
  protest at saveaccess.org.

  Curiously, nobody in Washington, DC or Baltimore is protesting yet.
  Perhaps a contingent should form outside NSA, with signs showing the
  NSA employees on their way to/from work just what we think of their
  disrespect for the constitution, the law, and the public.  Do we have
  a local volunteer to organize it?

  PS: I don't agree with all the things these people are protesting, but
  I admire their energy.  I haven't seen cryptographers and cypherpunks
  with protest signs -- yet.  But I hope to see you out there on May 24th.
