If you see anybody publicly opposing President Obama’s plan to implement a government-centric overhaul of the health care system, the White House wants you to report that person (or persons) ASAP.  Seems the White House forgot one thing….

The Bill of Rights guarantees that

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

From the White House website:

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.

Emphasis added. Of course, as we’ve seen in the health care debate to date, the term “disinformation” is used by the Obama White House as a catchall to describe any opposition to the President’s push for single-payer, government-run health care — meaning the White House wants to be informed of any forwarded emails or blog posts or any “casual conversations” that could be taken as opposition to their health care overhaul plan.

The White House has, as yet, offered no explanation of what it is they plan to do with the tips on policy opposition they hope to receive from citizen informers.

The problem with this claim of disinformation about health insurance reform, control of personal finances to end of life care, the White House has got to understand, people have READ the bill.

It’s all in there! None of this is being made up.

What we have not seen are the 50 amendments and final version of the bill to be voted on after the break.

We are being told it won’t be available until they get back so it will get slammed through after they have tried to make the American people feel like they are being selfish, and upset for nothing.

WE ARE UPSET FOR A REASON!

WE DO NOT WANT GOVERNMENT RUN INSURANCE!

WE DON’T WANT TO BORROW TO PAY FOR INSURANCE!

WE DO NOT WANT TO BREAK OUR BANKS TO PAY FOR INSURANCE!

WE DO NOT WANT OUR INSURANCE CHANGED!

I WANT MY PRIVACY!

I DO NOT WANT GOVERNMENTS HANDS IN MY FNIANCES!

I WANT GOVERNMENT TO FOLLOW THE LIMITS OF THE CONSTITUTION THAT THE FOUNDERS AND ALL THE OTHER PRESIDENTS BEFORE FOLLOWED!

Interestingly, as Jake Tapper pointed out on Twitter this morning, the title of that post on the White House is a quote from John Adams’ 1770 “Argument in Defense of the Soldiers in the Boston Massacre Trials.”
