To: President Donald Trump
Pardon Edward Snowden
President Obama should pardon Edward Snowden in the same way that President Ford pardoned his predecessor, Richard M Nixon. "In revealing the colossal scale of the U.S. government’s eavesdropping on Americans and other people around the world, he has performed a great public service that more than outweighs any breach of trust he may have committed." The New Yorker.
Why is this important?
This petition recognizes the great service to our democracy that Edward Snowden has provided and demands that he be allowed to return home to the hero's welcome he deserves without fear of prosecution and persecution.
