Congressman Mike Rogers,                    January 19, 2014

An article in the Fort Smith, AR Times Record today “Lawmaker calls Snowden a thief”.

Edward Snowden is a young man who has given up in all likelihood his young life to expose in part the crime and corruption perpetrated on American citizens by the United States government.

Without Snowden’s whistleblowing American citizens would certainly not have been apprised of the massive network of spying directed at citizens by the U.S. government.  Spying en masse is never acceptable no matter what phony reasons bubble up in our Constitutional Republic.

The use of drones for spying and frying, telecommunications abuse, ad infinitum are crimes against Americans.

Young Mr. Snowden would have fitted in very naturally in the Founder’s court.

Congressman, you state “Our army, navy, air force, marines have been incredibly harmed by the data he has taken with him and we believe is now in the hands of nation-states”. How so Congressman?  Throwing out incendiaries no longer hacks it.

Name one principled constitutional act that has come out of the Congress, both houses, in the last 13 years. 

The federal government is comprised of nothing more than self-serving, arrogant constitutional abusers.  The Republican Party is the Party of Irrelevance. 

Bravo for Edward Snowden!
