This is not an independent online petition on facebook that won't go anywhere, this is a legal petition that the White House will be forced to respond to publicly (and probably won't go anywhere other than a canned response about how Obama takes security violations seriously but will "look into it"). That doesn't mean we can't show them that we're all watching.
edit: The number of votes is increasing every second. This is amazing to watch!
Bump. Please sign the petition to PARDON Edward Snowden:

If we don't protect these people they will disappear, along with any chance of knowing just what the hell your tax dollars are doing (to you!).
