Anti-Surveillance "Stop Watching Us" Rally Set for D.C. 
--------------------------------------------------------


 
As the diplomatic uproar over National Security Agency spying continues
overseas, activists in the United States are holding a protest on
Saturday in Washington, D.C. "Stop Watching Us: Rally Against Mass
Surveillance" is organized by a coalition of more than 100 groups,
companies and public figures. In a statement, Edward Snowden urged
supporters to attend, saying: "Today, no telephone in America makes a
call without leaving a record with the NSA. Today, no internet
transaction enters or leaves America without passing through the NSA's
hands. Our representatives in Congress tell us this is not surveillance.
They're wrong ... Join us in sending the message: Stop watching us."
