It's funny to see you being so naive as to think that there are forces in politics that have gone to great lengths to ensure that peaceful dissent has no substantial effect. There are the same organizations that have conspired in the murder, shaming, and threatening of peace activists across the whole world. What makes you think you are invulnerable from this? Do you remember the case of the DC Madam, the lady who was being charged of running a prostitution ring in DC, who "committed suicide"? Remember Iran-Contra? Do you not see what they do against whistleblowers? Do you realize the only reason why you're hearing about Snowden is because he is the only dissenter out of many who actually got and change done? And this is because he went public so that, unlike all the poor saps who "believed in the system", and "went through the proper channels", the NSA had no choice but to do some damage control. Do you remember the goverment talking heads calling Snowden "incompetent"? You can go and believe in whatever you want, but the people who do that believing are not the ones doing positive change right now.
