White House: Operation Fishy


From WhiteHouse.gov "If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov." If that is not Orwellian enough, they describe what they want you to report to them:
Scary chain emails and videos are starting to percolate on the internet, breathlessly claiming, for example, to "uncover" the truth about the President’s health insurance reform positions.

Speaking of Disinformation - This promise is repeated on the White House website:
For the record, the President has consistently said that if you like your insurance plan, your doctor, or both, you will be able to keep them. He has even proposed eight consumer protections relating specifically to the health insurance industry.

Keith Hennessey explains why that is a promise quite difficult to keep:
CBO estimates that about 10 million individuals who would be covered through an employer’s plan under current law would not have access to that coverage under the draft legislation because some employers would choose not to offer it.
The CBO is spreading disinformation, someone better let the White House know.

  1. Here's how to automatically send 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 "Settings->Forwarding and POP/IMAP", 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 fight against intimidation and abuse of power.

    Hit back ten times as hard. Every day.
