Whose idea was to call the Feb 11th event "the day we fight back"? Signing a petition or calling your congress-person is not really "fighting back". I don't think we can really "fight back" against the NSA in a way that is legal.

We CAN pressure our representatives. Our representatives certainly can fight back.

Next time there is an online protest on the NSA there should be a better name for it.

There is a lot of lazy apathy out there on the interwebs. I think that this needs to be framed not around "our privacy" (while most of us are thinking we have nothing to hide anyhow) but around the "privacy of journalists, activists and people in important positions".

What if you knew that every news article was written by a journalist who was afraid for their family from the NSA? In the age of the internet we are all journalists and activists of one sort or another.
