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.</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>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.</div><div><br></div><div><div dir="ltr"><div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0.8ex; border-left-width: 1px; border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-style: solid; padding-left: 1ex; position: static; z-index: auto; ">Love & Liberty,<br><br> ((( starchild )))<br>At-Large Representative, Libertarian National Committee (2016-2018)<br> <a>RealReform@earthlink.net</a><br> (415) 625-FREE</blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0.8ex; border-left-width: 1px; border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-style: solid; padding-left: 1ex; position: static; z-index: auto; "><br></blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0.8ex; border-left-width: 1px; border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-style: solid; padding-left: 1ex; position: static; z-index: auto; ">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.</blockquote></div></div></div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div><div>Begin forwarded message:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); "><b>From: </b></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; ">Dean <<a href="mailto:askwizzz@gmail.com">askwizzz@gmail.com</a>><br></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); "><b>Date: </b></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; ">June 13, 2016 2:59:03 PM PDT<br></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); "><b>To: </b></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; "><a href="mailto:Gary.Johnson@lp.org">Gary.Johnson@lp.org</a><br></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); "><b>Cc: </b></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; "><a href="mailto:Starchild@lp.org">Starchild@lp.org</a>, <a href="mailto:Marc.feldman@lp.org">Marc.feldman@lp.org</a>, <a href="mailto:William.Redpath@lp.org">William.Redpath@lp.org</a>, <a href="mailto:Sam.Goldstein@lp.org">Sam.Goldstein@lp.org</a><br></span></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); "><b>Subject: </b></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; "><b>Getting needed exposure from the media and addressing ignored issues...</b><br></span></div><br><div dir="ltr"><div class="" style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(29, 33, 41); font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; white-space: pre-wrap; "><div class="" style="direction: ltr; font-family: inherit; "><span style="font-family: inherit; ">Why not consider Edward Snowden as VP or proposed cyber crimes secretary?
