Shocked by the White House’s announcement that citizens expressing contrary information about health care reform should be reported, we’re giving freedom-loving Americans a chance to fight back.
Earlier this week, a White House blog post told readers to send reports of seemingly “fishy” information to flag@whitehouse.gov. The media immediately brought attention to the request, which is scarily reminiscent of 20th-century East German attempts to recruit public informants.
But thanks to FlagOff.com, concerned citizens now have the ability to turn the tables and “flag” the government instead.
Launched with a budget of only $100, FlagOff.com allows Americans disgusted with the direction the federal government is headed to register their complaints, draft and send a letter to the White House and sign an online petition.
“My colleagues and I were dismayed to learn of the federal government’s latest attempts to curb our liberties and chill Constitutionally-protected free speech,” said Jamie Story, a resident of Hawaii and one of the movement’s organizers. “We encourage all Americans to visit FlagOff.com to register their complaints against the government—and to notify the White House that they’ve been flagged.”
The just democracies of our world have been few and fleeting. Our country’s excellence and justice are a rare exception and the greatest mistake we can make is thinking that we are immune to the downfalls of the great democracies of the past.
Ronald Reagan said that freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction, and we should heed that every day.
To all the astro-turfers and highly funded small town mobsters: keep the pressure on and don’t forget how close we exist to the brink.
