Given that the NSA mass surveillance of American citizens have proven of little value in the fight against terrorism, I am surprised that you imply that this cannot be changed. A reasonable proposal is for ALL candidates to say that these programs are expensive, not useful and should be ended. (One might also say they are a blatant example of government overreach - but that is just my opinion and you are free to disagree.) It is not misguided to say that a bad program should be ended.
