Bernie Sanders would have the most leverage. His stance on privacy: http://feelthebern.org/bernie-sanders-on-privacy-and-digital....

If contacting the campaign team directly doesn't work, you can make a thread on /r/sandersforpresident or join the Coders for Sanders slack group to influence that group. The devs behind berniesanders.com are active on there too.



It's a great idea in theory. Can you reach him or someone on his team?

I've tried to reach Bernie but have no contacts. Supposedly we're 6 degrees apart but I don't know the path. I tried contacting Ben Cohen of Ben & Jerry's, who is one of his supporters and an activist himself, but didn't hear back.

People are reluctant to address the issue on his subreddit. I've tried posting extensive information on the subject twice already [1] [2]

His supporters are not even informed enough themselves.

It's up to us and the EFF to get the message out there.

EDIT: I'm trying via the coders for sanders slack group now


I don't have any personal connections but you can try reaching out to someone on the campaign team [1] over Twitter. It's still a shot in the dark but you're more likely to get their attention there than over email.

I've tweeted at a few groups and people recently [1]. Nobody replies or communicates on that service. They just retweet and parrot their own viewpoints.

I'll give it a shot though, thanks. I'm not really a twitter kind of person so I admit I could be doing it wrong.

Kenneth Pennington, the 25-year-old Digital Director for Bernie 2016, might be able to help if you have a way to get in touch with him


Thanks for the suggestion dcposch, I sent him a message


His stance on property isn't so great though.
