BRAVO! Wonderful!! ... Wait, is this hate speech?
Or maybe that doesn't apply to democrats.
I, too, received one and forwarded it to Earthlink’s fraud department then added him to my blocked list. All of this, of course, after making my comments. I also received one in the past from BO at the White House and somehow I occasionally receive an update from Billy C, generally asking for money to help pay for Hillary’s legal bills. Not sure how I made this list - perhaps because I am an officer with a Republican’s women’s group?
I spot read this. My recollection is that there seems to be something illegal going on here and the spot reading seems to support tha recollection.
Can you save some of us a little time and say in lay terms what sections may have been viloated and why?
I called and wrote both my congresscritter and one useful spinator yesterday concerning what I believe is an invasion of privacy and violation of both campaign laws by use of federal assets by political operatives such as Axlerod as well as the keeping of lists via flat@whitehouse.gov.
My letter is:
Yesterday I received an unsolicited E-mail from the White House and David Alerod which attempted to convince me that what I have read in the health care scam is not really what it says. I have not contacted the White House and want nothing to do with this administration and only want to see them vacate the premises by any means.
I called your office yesterday to complain about this unsolicited and offensive invasion of my privacy. Your staffer was quick to understand the root of my complaint but confused the event with the flag@whitehouse.gov protest you made last week, thank you for that though I wonder about the follow-up in the midst of all the other confrontations we are having today.
I told her that my privacy has been invaded by the White House, that Axlerod is a political hack and that using government resources is, I believe, a viloation of campaign laws, that it is illegal for the White House to keep lists of citizens for any reason, that the lies offered by Axelrod are insulting. More, I told her that the very existence of flag@whitehouse.gov is probably illegal since those who report “fishy” information are also supplying the names of persons who have not given permission for their names and information to be supplied to the White House. Furthermore, those messages with personal information and opinions now become part of the national archive against the will of those on whom have been reported. (the White House is forbidden to dispose of any communications and we “know” this White House would not viloate any laws)
I expcet you to loudly and agressively question these activities by the White House and demand an investigation that is far reaching as to their activities and motives. While you and the republicans may be powerless in vote maybe you can make these invasions on the righs of your constiuents and the trampling of the Constitution and rule-of-law known.
Here is a clue to something that I would be asking about. Melissa Hathaway, White House Cybersecurity Advisor, resigned on Monday, August 3 with effect from August 21. Flag@whitehouse.gov became active the next day. I woudl subponea her and ask her why she resigned. Maybe you consider this simply innocent coincidence? If you do, I have a bridge to sell you sir.
The very idea that my name and e-mail address are part of a data base maintained by this White House and the likes of Axelrod, Rhamm, Gibbs and Obama is at once offensive, repulsive and frightening and I consider it an overt violation of my liberties and a vieled attempt at intimidation. Just like a bully, if this soft tyranny is allowed to continue it will grow to something more violent. I shudder to consider the field day the thugs in this administration are having with military secrets and secure data bases.
By the way, if you had any guts at all you would propose to limit access to the keys of AF1 citing extremen economic conditions and excessive use compared to his predecessors.
I didn’t say when......
“Gee, I feel kinda slighted that I didn’t get one.”
I sent several emails to flag@whitehouse.gov! Why was I not placed on the enemies list?!
I’ve written to comments@whitehouse.gov on numerous occasions. I started getting some emails from the White House, but at the bottom of the email were directions to get off the email list, which I did.
But I’ll still continue to voice my opinion to the WH usually addressed to “whoever reads these before shredding them.” I figure why ignore the poor schmuck whose job it is to shred negative emails.
I ratted on myself the first day, and I’ve had no response. I feel neglected (sniff).
Mark your calendar - This Sunday on Fox Sean Hannity, of Hannity & Colmes ~ Fox news, is going to air a very important documentary about Barack Obama, Sunday night at 8:00 PM central / 9 PM eastern. He stated on the air this evening that no one in the news media was willing to do this. Hannity is going back to Obama’s earlier days, showing even then his ties to radical professors, friends, spiritual advisers, etc., he stated this evening that he will show in detail his ties to Rev. Wright for 20+ yrs. How he was participating with this man, and not for the reasons he states! He has uncovered more of Obama’s radical leaders and we will see things that no one in the media is willing to put out there. This will be a night that you will learn more about Obama than ever before Hannity is very passionate about this program and asked that everyone please, please watch~~
Sunday night, 8 PM. CT; 9 PM ET
Thanks for the ping. Yesterday, I heard Hannity on the radio say the same thing.
Did they forward the list to Treasury and the IRS ... yet?
I got a David Axelrod email as well and I did not email the White House. But I did email my representative who is a Democrat. Hmmm. I wonder if that is where all of these email address are coming from? Could it be that Obama and the Dems are sharing email addresses?
There was an article about emails overwhelming the Congress’s website(s). I have to wonder if the WH doesn’t have a forward/copy of its most ardent Hill supporters’ emails in addition to capturing those send directly to the WH?
These people wouldn’t let a simple thing like a law stop them from gathering the info they want. Who would enforce or prosecute?
