>Can you point to any candidate let alone party (that stands a snowballs chance in hell of being elected) that has "reduce surveillance" anywhere in their manifestos?

Every year for a long time there has been a senator named Paul who has complained about this stuff nonstop. Nobody has listened because it is not a partisan issue. If this were a partisan issue we'd have billions of dollars behind it on both sides and the pendulum would eventually swing one way or the other.

Ron Paul was not a Senator and his son just postures about such issues to get spotlight. I never see any action when it counts from Rand Paul. He seems to be just another enabler.
