		<description>Here&#039;s how to automatically route a growing daily stream of junk email to flag@whitehouse.gov:

1. Set up a special gmail account (mail.google.com) just for this purpose.

2. Under &quot;Settings-&gt;Forwarding and POP/IMAP&quot;, select “Forward a copy of incoming mail to”, then fill in flag@whitehouse.gov

3. Then sign up for a bunch of free, email-generating web services (eg. GoogleAlerts) using the gmail account.

4. Tell your friends how they too can automate the revolution.

Hit back ten times as hard. Every day.</description>

		<description>I am sure that they will come back and say:

&lt;i&gt; Of course we mean people to send in the rumors, not the names of people passing them on.  We want to get all of the ideas out in the sunshine, where democracy happens.  We asked people to send in fishy information on health care, not names. Read what we said carefully:  we only asked for the disinformation, not the disinformers.&lt;/i&gt;

And they will look reasonable and we will look shrill and over the top, modern day John Birchers.

We have already been suckered in on the birth certificate ploy, and here is another wriggling worm on a hook for us to go after.  Honestly, I don&#039;t see us winning anything here, but getting played and marginalized.  Again.</description>

		<description>To Mark Woodworth:

It&#039;s not the last sentence of the paragraph(the one you quoted) that is offensive.  It is the line in which the White House says &quot;or through casual conversation.&quot;  That means, if you send your buddy an email and the White House doesn&#039;t agree with it, you should forward it to Big Brother.  We&#039;re talking private correspondence here; not just forwarding links found on the Internet.  What exactly are they going to do with that information?  I encourage everyone to send an email to flag@whitehouse.gov and cut/paste the following address in the body of your message:

http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h3200/text



Below is the full text from big brother&#039;s website:

&quot;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.&quot;</description>

		<description>The executive branch is required to archive all communications, yet this administration says that they will not keep names on file.  So, in effect, they are saying that they will not obey the law... 

It is becoming clear that this administration has no idea what they are doing.  They are flailing about trying to find some kind of traction, and are failing miserably.  


When you have to turn to the labor unions to quell a rebellion, you have already lost the debate....</description>

		<description>Nazi Germany, Soviet Russia, N Korea, and Obama&#039;s America all asking neighbors, friends, and family member to report neighbors, friends, and family members to the Government who don&#039;t agree with the Democratic party and Obama!  What&#039;s next Obama?  Block captains trained to watch &amp; report their friends, the Obama youth trained to turn in their parents, or knocks on the doors at 2AM by the Obama SS of tea party or town hall activists?  What are you thinking?</description>

		<description>&quot;Doesn’t Obama’s approval rating stand at 50 percent?&quot;

The odds are that Barack Obama is now a marginalized figure---but I am not absolutely sure I am right.  Let&#039;s hope his favorable numbers soon drop to under 45%.  The main thing that concerns me is white guilt.  There are just so many caucasian Americans who wish to prove they are not racists.  They find any excuse to support him.  Only recently have I  actually viewed Obama&#039;s famous speech at the 2004 Democratic Party national convention.  It turned out to be nothing more than a modest 16-17 minute exercise in cheer leading!  There was nothing great about it whatsoever.  Race guilt may be greatest threat facing Western Civilization. At this point in time, it is likely the only thing saving Obama from outright political oblivion.</description>
