It appears that after an outcry from the American people, the White House has disabled it's Brownshirt Central website, flag@whitehouse.gov . It was very unAmerican to collect the names of people who were opposed to the Obama policy on Healthcare. We have been very active in our position against letting this country go further to the Left. We are starting to reach the apathetics. A sleeping giant is awakening, the American silent majority is starting to become vocal at Town hall Meetings and the Democrats fear what will happen in the 2010 elections. They realize that they have pushed too far and are starting to pull back their efforts. We have to keep up spreading the values of Conservatives because those are the ones that Americans as a free people believe in the most.
We cannot let the government continue to do what it wants without the peoples approval. No longer can we sit back and let them pass thousand page bills without our legislators even reading them. We need to question why Obama is appointing so many czars to control key positions in government without Congressional approval. We have won a huge victory but we have to continue our fight against Democrats view that the Constitution is a hinderance rather then a guideline to our way of life.

White House disables e-tip box
by Mike Allen
Following a furor over how the data would be used, the White House has shut down an electronic tip box — flag@whitehouse.gov — that was set up to receive information on “fishy” claims about President Barack Obama’s health plan.
E-mails to that address now bounce back with the message: “The email address you just sent a message to is no longer in service. We are now accepting your feedback about health insurance reform via: http://www.whitehouse.gov/realitycheck.”
The “flag” service was introduced Aug. 4, with a White House blog post saying: “There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. 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 flag@whitehouse.gov.”
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said at a briefing shortly after the service launched: “We're not collecting names from those e-mails. … [A]ll we're asking people to do is if they're confused about what health care reform is going to mean to them, we're happy to help clear that up for you. Nobody is keeping anybody's names.”
Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.), chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, wrote a letter to Obama raising privacy concerns about what the senator called an “Obama monitoring program.”
“I can only imagine the level of justifiable outrage had your predecessor asked Americans to forward emails critical of his policies to the White House,” Cornyn wrote. “So I urge you to cease this program immediately.”
In a later statement, Cornyn said: “Of course the White House is collecting names. … [I]t is inevitable. Anyone with access to the flag@whitehouse.gov account has access to the names and email addresses that are collected in that account. … How are they purging names and email addresses from this account to protect privacy?”
