We Are Being Watched
Hmmm:
I thought, why not take Obama up on his transparency pledge and check out whitehouse.gov, where I’m sure he’s posted up a quick link to the bill? After all, he said we would be able to read and comment on legislation well before Congress voted on it. By what I’m sure is just an innocent oversight by the Obama admin, there is no link on the home page of whitehouse.gov that takes me to the bill; there’s just a link to Obama’s comments about the bill. Well, no matter; there’s that little search window up there, so I type in “stimulus bill.” What do I get? A window asking for my email address and ZIP code before whitehouse.gov will run my search! Where is the ACLU when you need them?! The federal government wants to know how to track me down before it will give me information? My friends, what is happening to our country?The question of the decade. . . .
