Re to 1): well, this is HN, so you're just preaching to the choir. Why not instead spend the time/effort spreading awareness among the general public? They're the ones that decide elections (and thus policies, or at least I hope).

Re to 2): again, this isn't going to raise awareness. The vast majority of people here already know about this.

When the general public's candidate pool has been narrowed down to two candidates by the media, is the general public really deciding elections anymore? It becomes multiple choice where both options are pro-plutocrat and pro-authoritarian.

I don't know that I've ever seen the policies of CIA and NSA spies brought up in any major party political platform.
