I don't feel powerless. Balmer is bankrolling transparency and Project Sunshine is trying to increase our ability to interact with the federal government.

Private industry has created databases like PolicyGuru dot net to help at the local level.

Things are going to improve even if it takes a generation to get out the swamp monsters.

Private industry created the infrastructure by which the NSA conducts these searches, and the willingness of companies like Microsoft, Google, and Facebook to "interact with the federal government" in support of its illegal activities is a big part of the problem.
