Oliver Stone, John Cusack Warn Against NSA Surveillance

Hollywood Rediscovers the Bill of Rights

Some in Hollywood start to fight back against the 1984 Surveillance Police State while most Democrat and GOP politicians defend Big Brother.

Oliver Stone, John Cusack, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Wil Wheaton are among showbiz figures who are stepping into the debate over the National Security Agency surveillance programs, appearing in a public service announcement that calls for an end to the monitoring.

“Everybody is at risk for getting caught up in the NSA dragnet,” Stone says in the 3 minute, 26 second spot, which also features Daniel Ellsberg, Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) and Phil Donahue reports Variety.

The spot was directed by Brian Knappenberger and produced by the Electronic Frontier Foundation.

The video is an effort to garner support for a rally on Oct. 26 in Washington called Stop Watching Us, organized by more than 100 public interest groups that are demanding that Congress investigate the NSA spying programs.

The video also is one of the first major pushes against the program using celebrity figures since news of Edward Snowden’s leaks of information about the program was first published.

This video harnesses the voices of celebrities, activists, legal experts, and other

prominent figures in speaking out against mass surveillance by the NSA.

John Cusack - Defender of Liberty
The Bill of Rights is neither Democrat nor Republican.  It is American.  It is good to see someone like John Cusack publicly stand up for Liberty and serve as a board member of the Freedom of the Press Foundation.

We had to learn about unconstitutional spying on Americans from a British newspaper.  The American media machine wouldn't be bought and paid for by the D.C. Establishment would it?
