I believe the flag@whitehouse.gov site is also breaking the privacy law put in place after Nixon's little spying activity. Also Obama is prohibited by yet another law from deleting any electronic communication sent to WH.

There is do doubt that flag@whitehouse.gov has received many well-written doozies from FReepers this week! I'm sure they're collecting IP addresses but they're going to need lots of frequent flyer miles to hassle everyone who disagrees by paying a visit.
My note was pretty basic:


"...Dear President Obama-

The citizens of the United States do not wish to embrace your absurd plan for socialized medicine.
It is expensive, ill-considered, and will degrade quality of care.

Sincerely,

Name, City, State..."


So we'll soon see if they answer!

He has broke so many laws and violated the Constitution so many times that one more won’t matter—either way.

Where on your computer do you go to clear the “cookies” out? I’m running Windows XP, I don’t know which file to look into.

Putting a ‘TRACKING COOKIE’ in someone’s computer means you are on the list electronically...is that not same as a written list in this digital age? It means you are checking on that person without their permission...run your spyware and delete all cookies and reboot.

Gave it a real plain-vanilla subject line so they wouldn't be able to readily tell it was spam or a critical note.
Kept the wordcount low without any profanity. My hopes are that someone, somewhere, was forced to waste time to open and read it.

Y’all realize that FR puts cookies on your system. Just delete the cookies put on by gubment. Better yet put them (gubment sites) on the browsers blacklist and disallow them being set.

In IE, it is under “Tools”, “Internet Options”

In Firefox, it is under “Tools”, “Options”, “Privacy”.

You can set your browser to delete all cookies when exiting. I also use the free program called CCleaner to clean cookies and other junk including unneeded registry entries.

"Biden’s 18 million dollar address number collector....????"

I wonder what ever happened to the database the Clinton's had when they were in the White House. They claimed it was for collecting the names of donors, but that was never proven.
