    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.” The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) and the Coalition for Urban Renewal and Education (CURE) have filed suit in...

    It started with a series of straightforward questions from Fox News correspondent Major Garrett to White House spokesman Robert Gibbs.  Garrett’s bottom-line inquiry: How did thousands of Americans, who had never contacted the White House previously, receive unsolicited political emails authored by top administration strategist David Axelrod?    In response, Gibbs and his press office colleagues undertook a strategy of dismissing the core issue, impugning the questioner, shifting blame, and vaguely pledging to change White House email policy.  Still, the basic question of exactly how the White House came to possess countless private email addresses remains unanswered.  The public deserves a...

    Although the White House has downplayed their ObamaCare opposition "snitch" program and redirected "fishy" claims to their new "Reality Check" site, let's remember that this fiasco has been part of their downfall. This humorous article offers more than three dozen sample email letters to send to the Big Brother's House. Most are hilarious; a couple of them are serious.

    The White House may have thought that the controversy ended this week when it disabled its electronic tip box, but at least one GOP senator is keeping it alive. In a letter to President Barack Obama Wednesday, Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) says the decision to disable the e-tip box -- flag@whitehouse.gov to monitor "fishy" claims about health care -- only raises more questions. Cornyn says he wants the White House to eliminate all the data it received in the 13 days the program was in effect and wants to know whether any information has been shared with the Democratic National...

    TO listen to the White House and its supporters in and out of the media, you'd think that opposition to "ObamaCare" is the hobgoblin of a few small minds on the right. Racists, fascists, Neanderthals, the whole "Star Wars" cantina of bogeymen and cranks stand opposed to much-needed reform. Left out of this fairly naked effort to demonize many with the actions of a few is the simple fact that ObamaCare -- however defined -- has been tanking in the polls for weeks. President Obama's handling of health care is unpopular with a majority of Americans and a majority of...

    They have theories, mind you. But the theories don’t add up. The White House told FOX News that third-party groups sending online petitions to the official administration Web site could be to blame for a rash of e-mails that have gone out to people who never requested them. The theory is that these groups are including the names and e-mails of members and petition-signers along with the petitions themselves, in turn embedding those e-mails into the White House distribution list… Griffith, who works for the American Association of Christian Schools in Washington, D.C., said she got the e-mail in her...

    White House Blames E-Mail Controversy on 'Sinister Conspiracy Theories' After confirming to FOX News over the weekend that third-party groups could be responsible for official White House e-mails that have been sent to people who never signed up for them, President Obama's new media director took to the official White House blog to "clear up" the confusion, and pointed the finger at "outside groups of all political stripes." FOXNews.com Tuesday, August 18, 2009 The White House is blaming the controversy over its Web site and mass e-mails on viral rumors, "fear-mongering" and "sinister conspiracy theories" even as it acknowledges problems...

    Anyone who keeps up with the news is fully aware that the Obama administation, Democrat leaders, and the MSM have launched a series of battles against anyone who opposes their leader and/or his policies. Here's a series of related articles that puts these recent absurdities in a humorous light. My favorites are Part 3 and Part 5. They offer several funny sample emails that you can send to Big Brother's new snitch-on-your-friends address. War of the Watchdogs is a historical record of the recently escalating Constitutional and ObamaCare concerns. With numerous referential links, this dry humor timeline is full of...

    In an attempt to push back against the "lies and distortions" circulating abotu healthcare, the White House is launching its own chail email to push for healthcare reform. White House senior adviser David Axelrod emailed supporters today, asking them to forward a message touting the benefits of Democratic legislation. Because opponents of reform are launching "viral emails that fly unchecked and under the radar," it's time for Democrats to fight back, Axelrod said. "So let's start a chain email of our own," he wrote. "At the end of my email, you'll find a lot of information about health insurance reform,...
