When you expose government wrongdoing, you're a hero. Edward Snowden must be pardoned.

Thanks to Edward Snowden’s heroic act of conscience, we’ve made major strides in our fight for surveillance reform and improved cybersecurity. Snowden’s 2013 revelations about the U.S. government’s suspicionless mass surveillance by the NSA has only served to strengthen American democracy by increasing transparency and starting an important debate. Even Eric Holder, Obama’s former US Attorney General, called Snowden’s actions a “public service.”
That's why we're demanding President Obama pardon Snowden for all charges related to his 2013 revelations.
IN HIS OWN WORDS:
“Yes, there are laws on the books that say one thing, but that is perhaps why the pardon power exists – for the exceptions, for the things that may seem unlawful in letters on a page but when we look at them morally, when we look at them ethically, when we look at the results, it seems these were necessary things, these were vital things,” he said.
“I think when people look at the calculations of benefit, it is clear that in the wake of 2013 the laws of our nation changed. The [US] Congress, the courts and the president all changed their policies as a result of these disclosures. At the same time there has never been any public evidence that any individual came to harm as a result.”
