Members of the New York City chapter of Restore the Fourth, the grassroots, nonpartisan movement dedicated to restoring the Fourth Amendment rights of all Americans, engaged in a sit-in Monday afternoon to protest Congressman Gregory Meeks' vote to fund NSA programs which collect the call records of every American. Four members of the group have volunteered to risk arrest to symbolize the seizure of the 4th Amendment by the NSA and its congressional supporters. This action comes as the front page of Monday's New York Times says efforts to rein in NSA bulk surveillance have "built a momentum that even critics say may be unstoppable."

The Congressman delayed his flight to DC to speak to the group. There was a heated 30 minute debate with Mr. Meeks and they agreed to leave because of all the time he gave them and all the attention this brought to his vote against the Bill of Rights.
