Thanks, Dean! I seem to recall the LP a few years back passed a resolution commending Edward Snowden, though I'd have to go look to be sure. Gary Johnson has actually spoken out about him positively just in the past couple weeks: http://reason.com/blog/2016/06/03/as-president-gary-johnson-would-consider ((( starchild ))) At-Large Representative, Libertarian National Committee (2016-2018) RealReform@earthlink.net (415) 625-FREE On Jun 13, 2016, at 3:32 PM, Dean wrote:

Wow, thanks for the quick reply...impressive!

All of your insights (and the address notice for Mr. J.) are good ones and appreciated!

What about we LP people publicly drawing attention to the symbol of liberty he is for the masses to open that bigger hidden doorway to the dark machines behind them? I wonder if Gary would mention Snowden's name to open that big, growing darker door?

Only Utah has gained anything at all from the NSA's scary growth!

Thank you for writing. My respect and admiration for Edward Snowden couldn't be higher, but for better or for worse we have a vice-presidential nominee this year, and as for a cabinet position, that would be up to a President Gary Johnson, should we be so fortunate.

The idea of creating an informal "shadow cabinet" of individuals selected to speak out on issues having to do with their counterparts serving in high government posts has been discussed before, but not sure whether Snowden would be interested in any such capacity. He might rightly feel that he can be more effective as an advocate for civil liberties at present without formally tying himself to a particular organization. Having an open a channel of communication between the LP and the NSA whistleblower could be very useful however, if you have any idea how to reach him or can research the matter.

Love & Liberty,

P.S. - I believe the email address copied on your message for Gary Johnson goes to the LNC member from Texas and not to the LP presidential candidate and former New Mexico governor of the same name.

Why not consider Edward Snowden as VP or proposed cyber crimes secretary? Take a stand like he has done, even help bring this hero home! The biggest issue in the land these days is loss of freedoms and cyber security crimes growing daily exponentially with controlling big brother and "his" (Republican & Democrats alike) building and growing a real, present and growing danger.

I am a party member and computer specialist loyal to Gov. Johnson, have been for years. Proposing that would/should draw TONS of needed media exposure for our party in the process, and a chance to exhibit a clearer idea to the public of what a modern day "Libertarian" is all about now....Liberty!

All other daily "news" is merely ho-hum extra distraction from real threats.

(ps: Tell Gary to smile more...important!)

Live free, or die!
