America…it is illegal for the President of the United States of America to retain and/or solicit personal information on any citizen.

These are grounds for impeachment…this White House just keeps it up and never stops!

The “original” Kenyan birth certificate or impeachment…it is just a matter of time…til we are free again!

==========================

JUST ANOTHER PATHETIC DAY IN THE WANNA BE DICTATORSHIP OF BILDERBERG BUSH-OBAMA PITTING THE CITIZENS HE HAS TAKEN AN OATH TO “PROTECT AND PRESERVE” AND INSTEAD “DIVIDING AND DESTROYING”…THIS IS NOT THE ROLE OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA…AND THIS NEEDS TO STOP…IT IS GETTING OUT OF HAND!

Wow this is like the Matrix more and more. Blue pills and data collection & control. Next week it will be green sqare burger patties and flashing red led’s in the palm.

You have to admit, the dem party is getting more and more creepy with each passing day. They are attacking old people just because they dont like Obama’s plan. They are condemning large groups of Americans because they refuse to be bullied. They are busing in union thugs to attack anyone that does not agree with Obama. God people, wake up and smell the corruption. The dem party has gone absolutely LUNATIC and needs to be put down like a rabid dog.

Larse…..If Breitbart misuses the data, they go to jail, or they are forced out of business. Does the gov’t go to jail when they misuse the data? Is it forced out of existence? No. Remember Hillary Clinton’s Filegate? She and her staff had illegally obtained personal FBI background files on thousands of U.S. citizens. Did anyone go to jail? No….

I’ll probably be flagged for saying this, but after hearing some of the most incredibly VICIOUS attacks one could imagine coming from 0bama and his Dem-0bots (racism, KKK, Nazis, swastikas), attacks that are being made AGAINST our police officers and doctors and veterans and senior citizens and even our disabled, I’m wondering WTF and thinking, “Can I put it past our ‘president’ to NOT have something up his sleeve so far fetched and sinister as to blow people’s minds? …a self-serving DIABOLICAL plot affecting some kind of national or even global catastrophe?”

God forbid!

PS- You’re doing a great job, B-CAST! Thanks!

Well L’Arse it’s a matter of trust. For example, since we all know what you’re up to no one will even visit the websites you post up. Obama’s the same, we don’t trust him as far as we can throw him.

You gave us Email addresses a couple of times, how much Email did you get you damn fool?

By the way L’Arse, how much does the “Team” pay you to spray “horse yet” all over the internet.

The President (Obama) proclaims, “Shut up and get out of my way”; I say, get out and shut up, traitor.

Fools, this is my open and transparent policy I promised you, Obama said.
“Obama continues to refuse to provide the media with school records, passports, college theses, law school records, law firm clients, medical records, Illinois State Senate files, and other documents about his record:

Original vault copy (long form) birth certificate – not released
Certificate of live birth (short form) – alleged forgery released

“If Breitbart misuses the data, they go to jail, or they are forced out of business.”

You must have gone to the same law school as Orly Taitz :D

@Norm (Pency)
“since we all know what you’re up to no one will even visit the websites you post up…”

I suggest you firewall that evil site I linked above :D

i’m high right now….i’m sorry, this a problem i’ve had for some time now… It’s hard to be on this side of the fence…

Larse   August 13th, 2009 - 8:38 pm

Since I have been using computers for 35 years and was on the net far before it was cool, I know a lot. I also just got a new laptop here that I have been setting up this afternoon. Let me just give you a few words of advice…

Find out how to modify your host file and add these lines to block Google tracker and Double Click tracking.

127.0.0.1 google-analytics.com
127.0.0.1 ad.double-click.net

Next, set you browser not to store cookies beyond when the program is shut down. In fact don’t store any information at all after the program quits.

That will get you off to a darn good start and will stop 95% of them out there. The virus and malware/spyware blockers will take care of the rest.

If the government is after you, Then you will need more brains to become totally invisible and untrackable. But you don’t need that do you…

The cookies are really a very minor issue. IP tracking and matching is the 800 pound gorilla of general threats right now…

Got to love that spam from P0tus keeps me well informed of how their machine really works

Allen –

President Obama is holding a live strategy meeting on Thursday at 2:30 p.m. Eastern Time for all Organizing for America supporters. I hope you can join us, online or by phone.

The President will update us on the fight to pass real health insurance reform — what’s happening in D.C. and what’s happening around the country. He’ll lay out our strategy and message going forward and answer questions from supporters like you. And we’ll unveil the next actions we’ll organize together.

This is a critical time in this President’s administration, and in the history of our country. I hope you can join us.

Here are the details:

What: Organizing for America National Health Care Forum

When: Thursday, August 20th, 2:30 p.m. Eastern Time

RSVP and submit a question for the President.

The President wrote to us a few weeks ago to ask us to go the extra mile this month in the fight for health insurance reform. And so far, you’ve stepped up in a big way: Last week, an astounding 60,000 Organizing for America volunteers stopped by representatives’ and senators’ local offices. You told your health care stories to staffers and members of Congress — of losing insurance after getting laid off, of being denied coverage upon finding out about a serious illness. And you thanked those supporting real health insurance reform for all the work they’ve done so far.

But these local office visits were only part of the story. The D.C. media has been trumpeting coverage of town halls disrupted by angry opposition to reform. But the reality on the ground is very different. Organizing for America supporters are showing up in huge numbers at these meetings all across the country — outnumbering opponents of reform, often by overwhelming margins.

You’ve organized 11,906 local events in all 50 states — from press conferences to community discussions — since we launched our big campaign for reform in June. And you’ve made hundreds of thousands of calls to Congress.

Your work so far has been incredible. But the special interests and partisan attack groups who oppose reform will not let up, and they will tell whatever lies they can to spread fear. There’s a lot more work for all of us to do. This Thursday’s meeting is our chance to huddle as a team, get the latest information and talk about how we’re going to achieve this victory. You don’t want to miss it.
