Jesselyn Radack & Thomas Drake are a force to be reckoned with. She is the legal adviser to former NSA contractor Edward Snowden and the Director of National Security & Human Rights at the Government Accountability Project. He is a former senior executive of the United States National Security Agency (NSA) and a whistleblower. In 2006, Thomas leaked information about the NSA's data-gathering Trailblazer Project and was prosecuted under the Espionage Act, but in 2010, but the case collapsed.

Both of them were in London to give the annual Sam Adams Award for Integrity and Intelligence to this year's winner Private Chelsea Manning. Jesselyn had just been harassed by the UK Border Police and spoke about being questioned about her representation of Edward Snowden and Private Manning.

Thomas Drake has an incredible story that inspired Edward Snowden to flee the country and release information with a very specific protocol. After seeing the way that Thomas was treated by the government Edward knew that he would never be protected by any type of Whistleblowing statute if he remained on American soil.

Please join me in welcoming these two to London Real and support them on their quest to protect Whistleblowers and thereby protect our basic human rights as individuals.

calling them criminals. If that's the best you can do, the Republican Party is the place for you. We don't need more right wingers in both parties telling us to give ourselves up to a corrupt police state.

If you can't support the most vulnerable and defenseless among us including those calling out injustice and Government misconduct - what the hell are you good for?
