Facts are Stubborn, but so are Americans!

On August 4th, the White House Blog asked ordinary Americans to keep tabs on "fishy" email chains or casual conversations that dealt with the health care reform bill, and to send the evidence to flag@whitehouse.gov. Click here for the blog post in its entirety.

The White House maintains that their only purpose for collecting this data is to help correct misinformation, but whatever the case may be, the government has no business monitoring what goes on in private conversations.

By taking this step, the government is initiating a precedent that is a huge infringement on personal rights. There is nothing wrong with the government monitoring select parties that have warning signs of being a significant threat to national security, but this is completely out of line.

So take action - email the White House using this form, and add to the many voices that are crying against such bold steps toward tyranny. Let's be stubborn about standing up for our rights!
