This is my litmus test for all future elections until this issue is resolved. There is and will never be a candidate that reflects all or even most of my positions. But, if a candidate is willing to unequivocally say that they will end domestic surveillance programs and uphold the 4th amendment, they will get my vote over anyone else who shows even the slightest hesitation, period.

Even over the candidate who promises to end the 2-party system? In other words, make real and lasting overall change, instead of just a single issue.
This is the single most important issue of the internet era. The current policy will erase the concept of privacy altogether. It is hardly "just a single issue".
