bottom line - all this is pushed by the defense industry. they have unlimited money & clout with generals & intelligence committee chairs. a public mutiny will not stop them. all you or I or anyone else can do, is set up a VPN, buy an AR15, a case of beer & vote rand paul.

Voting them out of office does nothing, because the new guys have less input than the guy they replaced. New guys typically don't get on the special committees and so on, specially if it's known they intend to go aginst the grain.
Pressure on the people with the current power is the only way to do it.. If tens of thousands of people were protesting Bohners office, Reid's office and other high ranking members of the house and senate with a unified voice of end the spying they would be forced to comply.
Civil disobedience works wonders if it has a unified goal. Instead they just encourage people to join teams and pretend one team is diffrent than the other. While they are diffrent in many areas, the NSA and spying is one area they are equally fucking everyone.
There is zero reason to bicker about democrats or republicans on this piticular matter. It should be something everyone should care about and be trying to stop.
