What wrongdoing was that? What laws did the NSA brake?

I could certainly list the laws that Snowden broke if you'd like.

An Orbitz for healthcare procedures is sorely needed. Does one exist?

Two countries led by the some of the most leftist leaders != entire "(sub?)continent"

Judging by those who have not granted Snowden asylum, there are many more who support the U.S. than otherwise.

Are you just being ridiculous right now? Chile, Uruguay, and Mexico for instance are strong U.S. allies. Argentina, Brazil, Columbia, and virtually every other country that hasn't given Snowden asylum would back America in the event of "World War III", which would end fairly fast.

This would never happen. Even Venezuela is not stopping their oil exports to the U.S.

How would increasing the salaries of $100,000+ union workers improve safety conditions?

This is a worse investment than color in my opinion. The founders have no track record whatsoever to justify a $25M investment for a product that has been stealth mode for two years running. I've heard several complaints from insiders about the company and its founder.

The petition is quite awful too. The law should allow any manufacturer to sell directly. The petition won't do anything, but at least it gives this issue publicity.

Why not? You'd have to pass laws in every state, which would be extremely difficult. Why not just pass one federal law instead?
