That's a great question. I've no idea who they were. Cool though!
Did anyone else recognize them?<br>
<br>
As they stood there, they held a sign that said something like
(maybe someone remembers better) -<br>
<br>
<tt> Clapper</tt><tt> Snowden<br>
<br>

NSA eavesdropping Exposed NSA eavesdropping</tt><tt><br>

tomorrow's AWARE demonstration - and flyer sources: Snowden's
statement ('the Obama Administration is afraid of an informed,
angry public') and USLAW against intervention in Syria</div>
<div><br>
</div>
Tomorrow is the first Saturday of the month - AWARE's monthly
anti-war demonstration:<br>
<br>
2-4PM, Saturday, July 6th,<br>
corner of Main and Neil, downtown Champaign - the usual
place<br>
<br>
We haven't settled on a flyer for tomorrow, but talked a bit
after the parade about things that might go in it, including
Edward Snowden's statement this week (below). Also below is a
current statement by US Labor Against the War opposing
intervention in Syria. Discussers of peace, what do we think
of these? Are there other things that we really need to
include? I'll aim to assemble something tonight, and get it
copied tomorrow midday, unless someone else wants to do either
of those.<br>

<blockquote type="cite">One week ago I left Hong Kong after it
became clear that my freedom and safety were under threat for
revealing the truth. My continued liberty has been owed to the
efforts of friends new and old, family, and others who I have
never met and probably never will. I trusted them with my life
and they returned that trust with a faith in me for which I
will always be thankful.<br>
<br>
On Thursday, President Obama declared before the world that he
would not permit any diplomatic "wheeling and dealing" over my
case. Yet now it is being reported that after promising not to
do so, the President ordered his Vice President to pressure
the leaders of nations from which I have requested protection
to deny my asylum petitions.<br>
<br>
This kind of deception from a world leader is not justice, and
neither is the extralegal penalty of exile. These are the old,
bad tools of political aggression. Their purpose is to
frighten, not me, but those who would come after me. For
decades the United States of America has been one of the
strongest defenders of the human right to seek asylum. Sadly,
this right, laid out and voted for by the U.S. in Article 14
of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, is now being
rejected by the current government of my country. The Obama
administration has now adopted the strategy of using
citizenship as a weapon. Although I am convicted of nothing,
it has unilaterally revoked my passport, leaving me a
stateless person. Without any judicial order, the
administration now seeks to stop me exercising a basic right.
A right that belongs to everybody. The right to seek asylum.<br>
<br>
In the end the Obama administration is not afraid of
whistleblowers like me, Bradley Manning or Thomas Drake. We
are stateless, imprisoned, or powerless. No, the Obama
administration is afraid of you. It is afraid of an informed,
angry public demanding the constitutional government it was
promised — and it should be.<br>
<br>
I am unbowed in my convictions and impressed at the efforts
taken by so many.<br>
<br>
Edward Joseph Snowden</blockquote>
