NSA Whistleblower, Edward Snowden, Apparently a Ron Paul Supporter
He certainly shows libertarian sympathies
Edward Snowden, NSA whistleblower, former CIA worker and more-recent employee of defense contractor, Booz Allen, may also have contributed money to Ron Paul's presidential campaign during the 2012 election season. We know from the reports in the Guardian and from Booz Allen, itelf, that he worked most recently in Hawaii, and OpenSecrets lists an Edward Snowden of Waipahu, Hawaii, making a $250 donation to then-Rep. Ron Paul on May 6, 2012. An Edward Snowden of Columbia, Maryland, made a contribution to the Ron Paul campaign in the same amount two months earlier.

God bless him and God help him.
Let's hope this causes others to develop some backbone and come forward as whistleblowers, and to actually try and preserve, protect and defend the Constitution.
And as Nixon had John Dean, dare we hope that somewhere lurking in the bowels of the Obama administration is one honest man with integrity?
Could they have messed up and hired one honest person?
Snowden River Parkway is in Columbia Md. Is it named after an ancestor or is it maybe an assumed name on his part?
