Flood the White House with support for Snowden

	FLOOD THE WHITE HOUSE: Pardon Edward Snowden
	Take Action President Obama must listen to the voices of people around the world — including YOU — who stand with Snowden. Help us flood the White House with this message: Pardon Edward Snowden now.     Dear Friends, By lifting the lid on global mass surveillance, Edward Snowden galvanized one of the major human rights struggles of the 21st century. Without him, the world would still be in the dark about a massive invasion of privacy. Today help us flood the White House with this message: Pardon Edward Snowden now. The price of exposing abuse of power must not be exile. Snowden clearly acted in the interest both of the U.S. public and of people around the world. The U.S. government should never have charged him in the first place. By pardoning him, President Obama can end his term by breaking with an insidious pattern of U.S. presidents favoring government secrecy over human rights. Tell President Obama to pardon Edward Snowden, a whistleblower who acted solely in the public interest. Earlier this year, Snowden offered this statement to Amnesty and its supporters: "A world in which nobody stands up for whistleblowers and activists is a world where nobody takes risks to defend the public interest or expose government abuses. People need to stand together to defend the kind of society they want to live in." - Edward Snowden We couldn't agree more. Stand up against the abuse of power and urge President Obama to pardon Edward Snowden. Together we are the most powerful force for human rights in the world. Thank you for taking action with Amnesty today. In solidarity, Zeke Johnson Director, Individuals at Risk Program Amnesty International USA
