NSA Protests Reach Doorstep of Pelosi's Wealthy Donors

Civil Liberties picket is a rare show of dissent from a Democratic party that has rallied behind Obama's warrantless spying

Protests against NSA spying have reached all the way to the home of House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi's big campaign fundraiser.From left, Renay Davis of San Francisco, Janine Boneparth of Sausalito, and Suzanne Cowan of San Francisco stand along Eucalyptus Road in Belvedere, Calif. on Saturday, July 13, 2013.

And this time, the protests are coming from a group that includes some professed Democrats—a notable departure from the silence and inaction of the Democratic machine as the Obama Administration's NSA spying scandal ripples across the globe.

Over 70 people picketed Saturday afternoon outside of the Belvedere, California home where congressman Jared Huffman was throwing a big fundraising bash for Pelosi.

The fundraiser took place just weeks after Pelosi forcefully defended the NSA's warrantless spying programs and denounced NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden as a 'criminal' at a NetRoots Nation conference in San Jose, California. Her statement at the conference had been met with loud boos and heckles from the crowd.

The boisterous picket in this wealthy neighborhood—organized by the Coalition for Grassroots Progress, an organization for 'progressive change'—featured colorful signs declaring "One nation under surveillance" and denouncing 'big brother.


A recent poll by Pew Research Center shows that democrats have flipped on civil liberties violations under Obama: while a majority of democrats declared NSA spying unacceptable under former President George Bush, a majority of democrats now think NSA spying is acceptable under Obama.
