After the White House asked for citizens to begin spying on one another and reporting "fishy" people and their problems with Obamacare to a government (i.e. taxpayer funded) website, one Senator (John Cornyn) decided to stand up for liberty and the American people. You can read the letter he submitted here: http://abcnews.go.com/images/Politics/Obama_Monitoring_Program%20_090805.pdf
Let us all hope that this request for information was not sanctioned by our President or any elected representatives. Those in political office should know better than to request information that can be seen as chilling political opposition and limiting free speech. Our democracy requires citizens to speak up and speak out on issues and we can not allow this program, or any similar to it, to exist if we are to respect and perpetuate our cherished traditions. No politician, President or not, is above questioning of his policies, character, or beliefs. Please take a moment to write or call your representatives and express your disbelief that such an idea would even be floated in a free and open society.
