I don't think that's reasonable to expect. You're asking an entire company of thousands of people - people who also participate in society and vote in elections - to teach society a lesson or something by refusing to do work you disagree with (and, for the record, I disagree with too). Probably a lot of people at Google are okay with spying - many of them helped elect Diane Feinstein, after all.
I have a good idea where this is all headed, and probably within my lifetime people like you and me are going to be able to deal out some pretty damn bitter "I told you so's". In the meantime I will try to keep that from happening by trying to educate people, for as long as doing so doesn't get me killed. But expecting a group of people, many of whom don't agree with me anyway, to practice some mild civil disobedience on my behalf, would accomplish very little other than to drive me mad.
