Texas GOP Sen. John Cornyn sent a letter today to President Obama asking him to disband the Internet Snitch Brigade run out of the health care czar’s office immediately.
The Hill has the full text of the letter (read here):
“By requesting citizens send ‘fishy’ emails to the White House, it is inevitable that the names, email, addresses, IP addresses and private speech of U.S. citizens will be reported to the White House,” Cornyn wrote in a letter to Obama. “You should not be surprised that these actions taken by your White House staff raise the specter of a data collection program.”
Cornyn asked Obama to cease the program immediately, or at the very least explain what the White House would do with the information it collects

Hey All,
The same people who were against the Patriot Act, are the ones behind this.
It’s ridiculous.

Translation: “Please, Obama, don’t tell the truth about how we’re trying to bring down America!”
Shame on John Cornyn.

Shame on Obama for trying to silence the voice of anyone who dares to question the Obamessiah!

Hey All,
Isn’t it interesting how SOME people “translate” things?
Shame on YOU Ed Darrell.

Obama’s asked for discussion. It’s Cornyn who is trying to shut down discussion.
Funny thing is, Cornyn has an operation right in his own office to do what he accuses Obama of doing. Cornyn’s banking on your failing to understand that the merry-go-round he’s spinning you on is moving at all. But the world doesn’t whip around that way. You should be able to tell.

Having tried to have legitimate serious discussions on Obama’s campaign website, he is definitely OPPOSED to discussion. Anytime someone questioned the Obama agenda and his socialist ties, they were blocked from the site. That showed me his transparency!

Ed,
Is Cornyn the President?
Didn’t think so.
Cornyn isn’t my Representative either, but Obama is. IF Cornyn was my Representative, then I would have a comment. Is he YOUR Representative Ed?
Obama IS MY Representative, so I have the RIGHT to sound my disappointment with him.
Besides, it is my opinion that we should fire ALL OF THEM. Democrats and Republicans alike. Get REAL Conservatives in there who actually have read and understand what the Constitution says, and how we should be following it.

Hey All,
If Obama’s definition of “discussion”, is for everyone who disagrees with him, to be “Joe the Plummered”, then I don’t want to be part of that “discussion”.
I remember when Obama spoke at Notre Dame and said that both sides should be heard.
Like almost everything Obama says, it turns out that they are:
“Just words”
No substance, no meaning, just what the people want to hear.
For example:
“Not any of your taxes”
“Just words”
Just lies if you were to ask me.
