When FreedomWorks and Anonymous come together on a day of action, it’s a sit up and take notice event.

The Day We Fight Back day of action was conceived of by the Electronic Freedom Foundation which has been legally battling against spying on Americans by the NSA. The day of action includes calling and emailing lawmakers and urging them to reel in the NSA.  Social media has picked up the mantle.

Ironically, backers have embraced Google’s participation in the day of action even though the search engine behemoth actually hoovers up more everyday information about you than probably the NSA.

While it looks like many of these folks hold Edward Snowden in high esteem, I’m afraid I can’t join them. He’s done harm to American national security and has emboldened our enemies. He’s a traitor to this nation. That said, there’s plenty of reason to hold our leaders accountable for any abuses to our privacy. For that reason only I would support this effort.
