Tracy Rosenberg with Media Alliance here. Hey everyone. I think there's critical things for people outside the US to do. International pressure is crucial to moving the bar in Washington DC. The UK government needs to hear from UK citizens that they're not happy with US snooping on their communications with people residing in the US and they want the UK government to insist that it stop. No blanket surveillance without a reason. I don't know what petitions etc are up and running in the UK, but get to know your MP, make sure they know what you think and make sure others do the same. And yes, throw Mr. Snowden a few bucks too....

Guilty until proven innocent. With everything that implies.

I haven't seen it. Most of the Internet coverage company has focused on their semantic denials, their asks to NSA to release their records, and theorizing about how much of their client base they are going to lose. While I suspect they won't lose as much as some say, one tactic we should consider is one-day boycotts of Google, Facebook, Skype. That I think we can pull off.

Looks like that is starting to happen. Loretta Sanchez from Orange County isn't exactly a radical, but even she was getting into the act yesterday.
