To the Whitehouse and President Barack Hussein Obama,
Re: August 4, 2009 Whitehouse Statement assaulting free speech and dissent.
Your statement on the Whitehouse web site today, August 4th, 2009 (fifth paragraph), is a direct affront to every American. It is a vile assault on the God-given right of every free American to speak his mind and to petition his government for redress. It is an abomination in the sight of God from which all life and freedom comes.
To quote you directly:
"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 cant keep track of all of them here at the White House, were 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"
By this statement, you stand in direct and incontrovertible violation of your oath of office. This call for informants to report upon those who disagree with your plans is reminiscent of the police state tactics employed by some of the worst tyrannies the world has seen. It is reminiscent of the tyrannies that my father and those before him fought to destroy.
Therefore, I demand that this statement be retracted and further demand that you stand up and honor the oath you took upon entering Government service. Here it is again as a reminder:
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; That I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion pledging my life, my fortune, and my sacred honor. So help me God.
This is the oath that you swore upon taking office. This is the oath that my father before me swore and that I have sworn as well. That oath stands in stark contrast to the sickening statement on the Whitehouse page. You cannot have it both ways. Either you will retract that statement and apologize to all Americans, or you will reveal yourself and those behind you as oath breakers, breaking faith with the Constitution to which you swore to defend and bear true faith and allegiance. Your continued failure to honor your oath of office will only confirm what so many of us already know: that you and those who support you are in fact Americas domestic enemies.
I hereby serve notice to you that I, Ward Dorrity, stand in total opposition to you and your agenda; that the values I hold and the principles that guide me are in direct opposition to the destruction of our once great republican democracy. Murder of the unborn, treason and socialism are NOT family values. They are not MY values. They are crimes against God, Man, nature, justice and reason.
The Health Care reform plan is simply another one of those crimes. The Democratic House Plan is a monstrosity that will seriously erode overall health care in this nation; it will crush free enterprise in the health care industry, and thereby contribute to your destruction of the free market. I categorically reject any government plan - especially Cap and Trade - that threatens the American economy with destruction.
I am not afraid to stand up to this assault on our fundamental and God-given liberties. I will express these sentiments to all who will listen, and I will resist by every art, with every means and with all the skill that I possess those who would attempt to silence me.
It is my right by birth and by heritage; and by virtue of my citizenship in these United States.
It is my duty by virtue of the sacrifice of my father and all of those who have given their lives for love of God and country and liberty
I proudly announce my dissent, and stand forth as one who is speaking out against these plans to all I know and can reach, and as one who intends to continue to speak out against them irrespective of your wholly Un-American pronouncements to the contrary, so help me God.
I call on all loyal, faithful, patriotic, and God fearing Americans to stand against not only these bills, but against this new, dangerous tack taken by this administration. .
Sincerely,
Ward Dorrity

This “flag at WH” snitchline will go down in history as the beginning of the official stasi-state.
With the WH calling-out of the ACORN/SEIU brownshirts, events will now take on a life of their own. All bets are off.
DEFCON 1
Outstanding!
It’s wonderful! May I put it on our local brand new 9-12 blog?
Ping to a great letter!
One that gets more relevant by the second:
Again, I must credit Jeff Head for his inspiring take on this. I shamelessly cribbed the general structure and sentiment form his original.
And as I’ve said, there’s no copyright on common sense. Jeff sees it that way, too. This is no more and no less than many of us feel about the outrageous and sinister attempt to silence our voices.
Mark my words - the other shoe’s about to drop. Then all bets are off. War is coming.
Post it far and wide - it needs to be said.
We’re going to part company all right. It’s not going to be pretty. They’re not just going to shrug and walk away.
There’s only one way this can end.
Now THAT is a great graphic. Post it far and wide.
Here’s my FOIA letter:
