What have i been doing lately? ...enjoying life...my garden...my friends and neighbors...and..... did i mention, enjoying life?
I even quit reading the Saginaw News. I can get all the misinformation necessary through the local misguided television stations and friends like the one that told me about the following article on the internet at
MLive.
__________________________________________White House "snitch" program on health care reform is an outrageby Your Voices Wednesday August 12, 2009, 8:13 AMVoice: MaryBeth Rodriguez, Saginaw TownshipI recently found out about the government's "snitch" program --
flag@whitehouse.gov -- and was furious. I sent an e-mail "snitching" on myself and thought it would be something to put in the opinion section. I know I cannot be the only one who feels this way. We should all be outraged!
I'm sadly writing this e-mail. I cannot believe that the day has come when I wake up in the morning and have to remind myself where I am living, because more and more it seems like it's Russia and not the United States of America.
I am sick about the idea of this
flag@whitehouse.gov. Who do you people think you are? I thought it was my right as an American citizen to speak up for or against issues. The American president is rallying people against me; me, an ordinary citizen -- a mom, a wife, a person who pays taxes and lives in a nice suburban neighborhood. I'm not part of an angry mob, I'm not someone who is planted at a town hall meeting to make trouble.
I have called my senator to find out when her town hall meeting will be, because I want her to know that I want the government to stop spending money. It is a very legitimate concern. How dare this administration portray legitimate concern and my constitutional rights as "dangerous" and as the Republicans just trying to get back? I'm disgusted with this whole thing.
My purpose for this message is to "snitch" on myself for "fishy" behavior. I don't agree with what is happening in Washington.

Its great to hear you speak out!!!!! Its going to take years to turn this all around. We all have to stay engaged, educate as many people as possible and get these bums voted out of office. Kildee has got to go in 2010. Obama and Stabenow in 2012, and Levin in 2014. United we stand, divided we fall.

Posted by antisoc on 08/12/09 at 2:16PMMarybeth is right. inthenaw is wrong and everyone should ignore his maniacal laughter. I doubt too, that if this bill is passed without major amendments he/she won't be so prone to laughter.

Posted by advancenot on 08/12/09 at 3:05PMDespite the paranoia running rampant throughout the right wing pundits and the following sheeple, it is not a snitch. The White House is interested in learning what kinds of misinformation is being propogated so they can address it as quickly as possible. So MaryBeth, I hope you did report this government "snitch" program because that is another bit of misinformation. The rest of you (except for SRVRon, because he uses an actual name in his alias) can rest assure because you do not have the courage to stand up for your ideas, don't have to worry about being ratted out.

Posted by freedomforus on 08/12/09 at 4:03PMLooking at the polls on health care, which shows support dropping faster then "Bill Clinton's pants when he was in the White House" you have to wonder:If Odumba and his parasites in congress proceed and ram this down our throats the "HAHAHAHAHA" just might be on them come 2010 and 2012. Oh and no paranoia here, just good ole fashion Patriotism. Thanks again to MaryBeth, you are certainly a Patriot.

Posted by dmbierlein on 08/12/09 at 4:39PMfreedomforus : Would help if you started backing up your statements with facts: how about this poll? . Or this one.And here's one specifically addressing the poll on "Obama's handling of healthcare reform"
--------------------------------------
Posted by freedomforus on 08/12/09 at 6:39PMdmbierlein: I use Rasussen, check it out.
http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics which shows only 42% now favor Odumba's health care plan compared to 53% that OPPOSE it. But what YOU dmbierlein should be asking is that President Odumba offer a health care plan that the majority of the American people want!!!! Then he should back up that plan by saying that he and his wife and kids along with every single other government employee will have the same health care.Not only would that show true leadership, but this arguement on healthcare would be over!!
--------------------------------------
Posted by dmbierlein on 08/12/09 at 8:09PMRasmussen is the favorite polling organization for the conservative. I have no problem using them as a source, as long as it is understood who the client is that is using the poll. You certainly would be suspect if I used Center for American Progress as my sole source for polling data.I would also be one that was dissatisfied with "Obama's handling of healthcare reform". I think he has been way too passive. But you can see by previous posts, I have no problem with the idea of government health insurance.
--------------------------------------
Posted by freedomforus on 08/12/09 at 8:52PMI personally don't want anything to do with governement ran health care. I have absolutely no faith in governments ability to run anything! All we can do dmbierlein is agree to disagree.
--------------------------------------
Posted by JustinOLady on 08/13/09 at 8:40AMinthenaw... Most of us do not listen to 'Limbaugh, Hannity and their ilk'.
advancenot... The definition of MISINFORMATION is: anything the current Administration does not want us to believe.
freedomforus... YES!!! Each and all of us should not ask but DEMAND that 'President Odumba offer
a health care plan that the majority of the American people want!!!! Then he should back up that plan by saying that he and his wife and kids along with every single other government employee will have the same health care.'
NOW, in my own words... Those 'town hall meetings' remind me of a 'townhall' meeting I attended right here in Saginaw where a group of misguided environmentalist extremists told a woman (a member of the Tittabawassee River Voice) to 'shut up'... in unison... simply because she was strong enough to stand up and speak in opposition to their misguided 'facts.' THAT, my friends, is what true pack mentality is!
Unfortunately, it is that same pack mentality that put us in this predicament because Obama's handlers milked the fact that he is non-white (?), educated, and bold.
Thank God the 'silent majority' is finally no longer silent!!!... and
God bless America!

Posted by freedomforus on 08/13/09 at 11:27AMTo all: I received the standard bull crap form letter from the White House senior adviser David Axelrod requesting our concerns on health care and other matters. I would like to share with you my response and urge all of you to email them with your concerns.
www.WhiteHouse.gov/realitycheckTO ALL YOU POLITICAL PARASITES FROM THE PRESIDENT ON DOWN:Here's the problem! As a hard working, tax paying, honest, law abiding citizen of the United States of America I don't trust you cheating bastard politicians with baby sitting a Barbie doll let alone taking over our health care. Every single thing you people get involved in goes broke. The only thing that keeps you people going is the profound ignorance of the majority of the American people. If they ever "wise up" you intellectual idiots won't be able to find a job flipping hamburgers at a cheap hamburger joint. In the future I will do everything possible to educate people on your consistent failures.
END
