ATLANTA - Chase Oliver says that the growing network of surveillance cameras is making Savannah feel like a modern 1984, and he will join a protest Saturday against this government intrusion.
“I’m looking forward to joining Libertarians this weekend in Savannah for the Banish Big Brother pub crawl. Raising awareness around government invasions of privacy is the first step towards rolling back these abuses,” says Oliver, 38, Rolling Stone’s “Most Influential Libertarian” and Libertarian presidential hopeful. “Our Constitution clearly states the limitations on government invasion of privacy and its time we have a president who will roll back these excesses and keep government in check. I will be that choice in 2024.”
Combining his passion for activism at campaign stops and appearances, Oliver will join the pub crawl protest sponsored by Oliver’s state party, the Libertarian Party of Georgia. Oliver also will meet voters on Friday in Savannah.
Those attending the pub crawl protest are asked to wear hats, masks, sunglasses, and other techniques that may foil the accuracy of surveillance cameras.
