Whistle...Whistle...Whistleblower ~Edward Snowden!

 A picture of Edward Snowden, Internet Activist and American
Hero

Edward Snowden, is an internet right activist. He currently resides in Russia where he has gotten political asylum. Edward Snowden used to work for the National Security Agency (NSA), which was owned by the USA. Edward Snowden was praised for revealing the fact that the NSA had been collecting data on all American systems. Once the public found it the government was ridiculed, and asked why they had done such a thing. This basically violated the patriot act which suggests that the NSA must get a warrant to subpoena all the data it had collected. Many people had made cases against the government. but no one has been successful at suing the government in violation of the patriot act. One of the reasons that Edward Snowden would refuse to come to the USA for a fair trial was because the government would not listen to his plea. The moment the documents were leaked, Snowden was labeled a traitor and a worldwide hunt was organized for his return to american soil. Edward Snowden was just a pawn in the dangerous game that the government was playing against their own citizens. In my own eyes and in many other peoples Edward Snowden is to be given praise for what he has told his own people. Government was there to help the people, but in the end the government went against the rules that made it possible to exist today. Although labelled a traitor, Edward Snowden is a modern American hero.
