Report Your Neighbor to the Government?

Republicans are upset because now the White House is encouraging citizens to turn in their neighbors for opposing the Health Care issue.

According to the White House blog, (www.whitehouse.gov/blog), Linda Douglass, the Communications Director for the White House’s Health Reform Office wants citizens to report “fishy” material to the federal government at flag@whitehouse.gov.

This has caused an immediate backlash for the Obama Administration. There are allegations that the White House is compiling a list of citizens that are exercising their 1st Amendment right to free speech by being opposed to the Universal Health Care plan. Senator John Cornyn of Texas has sent a letter to President Obama demanding an explanation. No answer from the President.
