The 4th of July is the US celebration of independence from Great Britain. It is the celebration of the freedoms that many of our countrymen have fought and died for.
The "4th" also refers to the 4th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America which holds that (any) People should be free in their papers and effects from unreasonable searches (spying) by their Government. We are taught that these are not rights granted by a god, or by consent, or by a monarch, but are rights inherent for all people whether they live in America or not. They are natural rights, like the right to happiness and to pursue your life without harming others.
I am sorry if it seems like this is a very American-centric protest, but it is up to Americans to change our government for the better. We have too many of our fellow countrymen who misinterpret or disregard the Constitution, and it is up to us to remind them what so many great men and women died for.
