The Daily Caller reports today that NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden gave $250 donations to the 2012 presidential campaign of Rep. Ron Paul on March 18 and May 6 of 2012. Paul stopped campaigning on May 14.
Snowden told The Guardian he voted for a third party candidate in last November’s general election.

WWBT:
The Republican Party of Virginia has sent letters to circuit courts across the Commonwealth asking for the personal information of concealed weapons permit holders.
The party wants the information in order to send campaign materials to like-minded voters. However, at least one GOP supporter is crying foul.
Joseph Waymack heard about the request while at work at the Hopewell Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office Friday morning. He immediately sent a competing letter to the Prince George Circuit Court. Waymack lives in Prince George and has his concealed weapons permit through the circuit court there.
Waymack also sent a letter to the Republican Party of Virginia asking them to rescind their request.
[...]
What’s more, the request comes less than a month before a Republican-backed bill banning that information from getting out becomes law.
Attorney General candidate Mark Obenshain introduced the bi-partisan bill to the General Assembly. It passed with overwhelming support in March and was later signed by the Governor.
On July 1, the confidential information required for concealed carry permits will be off limits.
[...]
NBC12 reached out to the Republican Party of Virginia. It said it doesn’t want to publish the information but use it to inform voters.
A statement from the party reads in part, “We are working actively to ensure that voters who are concerned about second amendment issues stay informed about Democratic efforts to limit our right to keep and bare arms.”
Waymack says if the RPV doesn’t rescind their request, he plans to file a lawsuit against the group Monday.
This is nothing but the RPV thinking about sending mail pieces and identifying people they can send mail to without thinking of the potential backlash.
Snowden said that he admires both Ellsberg and Manning, but argues that there is one important distinction between himself and the army private, whose trial coincidentally began the week Snowden’s leaks began to make news.
“I carefully evaluated every single document I disclosed to ensure that each was legitimately in the public interest,” he said. “There are all sorts of documents that would have made a big impact that I didn’t turn over, because harming people isn’t my goal. Transparency is.”
He purposely chose, he said, to give the documents to journalists whose judgment he trusted about what should be public and what should remain concealed.

The State reports:
Former S.C. GOP chairman Katon Dawson is chairing West Main Street Values PAC, Graham political consultant Walter Whetsell said.
West Main is a reference to the street in Central where Graham’s father ran a restaurant/liquor store/pool hall.
The article notes Sanitary Cafe, the name of the restaurant, was rejected for the name. Also noted is the fact that Graham’s PAC, the Fund for America’s Future, had almost $59,000 in the bank in April. Graham has over $5 million in his Senate campaign account.
