White House Denies Collecting Names of Opponents of Health Legislation

(CNSNews.com) – The Obama administration denied it is keeping an enemies list although it has asked citizens to report any “disinformation” about health care they come across to the White House.

Last Wednesday, Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) sent a letter to the White House expressing concern about why the White House would want information on opponents of its health care plan.

“I am not aware of any precedent for a president asking American citizens to report their fellow citizens to the White House for pure political speech that is deemed ‘fishy’ or otherwise inimical to the White House’s political interests,” Cornyn wrote.

On Thursday, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said the program was simply about correcting misinformation.

“Nobody is collecting names,” Gibbs said. “A lot of misinformation is out there. Some of it I think has been spread purposely. We have used on many occasions the Web site to debunk things that are simply not true. We ask people that have questions about health care and if what they’re hearing about [seems inaccurate]. And we’ll let them know if that isn’t true.”

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight.   :whatever:

They are not collecting names, but by law, they can NOT delete any of the emails they have received.   :uhsure:

Like I said, report yourself, then file a FOIA request for any information about you on the whitehouse.gov server.  If it comes up, sue for violation of federal law through violation of 1st amendment rights.  If it doesn't, go to the FBI and report a violation of the law, with your email reporting yourself as proof that it was sent, but no longer there.

They may not have names, but I assure you they have received lots and lots of information on how to make $10,000 a month working at home, and how
to grow a pecker the size of a zucchini.

Sometimes I wonder how many women voted for Obama because a few of the female journalist reported that Obama had "a nice package"?

Yeah, the same ugly bitches that complain about "sex sells".
