List me as "Opposed"

Just sent to flag@whitehouse.gov, the email address that you snitch report your dissenting neighbors to:

Dear President Obama,

There is no need to request that my neighbors spy and snitch on me. I will tell you myself that I am opposed to your Health Care plan, as currently envisioned, and as currently being shepherded by Henry Waxman. If this opposition places me on one of your private "watch lists", so be it.

As a Liberty-loving American individual, I oppose all efforts to centralize power in the hands of a few. Especially if they are faceless, nameless bureaucrats reporting to "czars" and not answerable to the people. My personal life is my own. My body is my own. And, my actions, so long as they remain lawful, are my own. Criminalizing dissent is what fascist dictators do, not freely-elected representatives of the People.

Please desist in your attempt to take over the health care industry. If you insist on reforming the industry, try removing burdensome regulations and anti-competitive laws and mandates instead. You might find the results more in line with your stated goals of making health care more affordable for everybody. Unless that isn't really your goal...

Just so we are clear, I reiterate the following: I oppose your health care reform plan and will actively campaign and lobby for its defeat.

Regards,

(Newbius)
