Stasi 2.0.....
The White House request that members of the public report anyone who is spreading "disinformation" about the proposed national health care makeover could lead to a White House database of political opponents that will be both secret and permanent, according to Republican lawyers on the Senate Judiciary Committee who are examining the plan's possible implementation.
Senate Judiciary Committee lawyers studying the proposal say that although there is no absolutely settled law on the matter, the White House plan is likely not covered by the Privacy Act, which prohibits government agencies from keeping any records "describing how any individual exercises rights guaranteed by the First Amendment unless expressly authorized by statute or by the individual about whom the record is maintained." Therefore, it appears the White House can legally keep records of the emails and other communications it receives in response to Phillips' request.

Gee, now why would anybody in our government be wanting lists of people who oppose what this regime are doing?

I went to a Tea Party a while back and many of the people there were Democrats who don't agree with what is going on, Republicans, and even Ron Paul supporters. I noticed something else that was going on however as people were speaking... there were these younger people who were walking around through the crowds taking pictures of everybody there, they never cheered at what was being said, they were just taking pictures of people. It really made me wonder who they were and what they were doing.

When the IRS comes knocking at your door with a colon scope you will know where the tip came from.

"Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to [email protected]"
Dear Obama
Add me to your list

Why wait for someone to rat you out? At least give yourself the the satisfaction of e-mailing them , and signing it.
adding a "PS: eat shit" is optional, though without it you are'nt
going to make it to the top ten list.

Having forwarded probably several hundred spam e-mails and e-mailed a bunch of anti oboyo articles, I'm pushing for a "top 5" spot on the subversives list. Probably get my social security check stopped.
