There is a signature already.

I like what Snowden did (and read his book) but putting
a message about him, the same message, in every mail will just
annoy people since they didn't ask for it still will see it
over and over.

Besides there is a signature already, one can put such
messages there if desired. Then people can opt-out, e.g. with

  (setq gnus-treat-hide-signature t)

This is just to show it is possible. It is a bad idea.
Instead do

  (setq message-signature signature)
