Soooo... I "flagged" myself to the US Government. Not sure how smart I am sometimes. This may turn out to be one of my dumbest moves ever. But I am boiling mad. If you are unsure what this is about, read this: http://www.redstate.com/jeff_emanuel/2009/08/04/call-for-informants-if-you-oppose-obamacare-the-white-house-wants-to-know-about-it/
The government has basically asked for people to snitch on emails, and web sites that oppose ObamaCare. I believe reform IS needed, but not this massive piece of junk they are trying to speed through, and force us into.
http://www.brutallyhonest.org/brutally_honest/2009/08/white-house-asks-for-americans-to-turn-in-americans.html I used the template from this site, to "flag" myself. Sorry for the plagiarism, but it was better than anything I came up with ealier.
Sent the below email to flag@whitehouse.gov
Will continue to send ones like this until they stop calling for snitches, and this email is taken down.
My name is Tim Cartwright. I am a citizen of the Untied States. I do not want the government to further insinuate itself into the our health care system. I demand the freedom of choice enter into arrangements with private insurers for me and my family. At every opportunity I am speaking against the president's plans to incrementally do away with private insurance and take over this country's medical system.
I am a vehement opponent of the president's "reforms." I am not a shill for the insurance companies, though I am thought to be shrill. I'm flagging myself to save others the trouble.
Shame on you all for asking that we tattle on one another.
