White House to drop its illegal healthcare reform “tip line”

  According to this article the White House has disabled its domestic spying program otherwise known as the White House healthcare reform tip line. This tip line was set up so that citizens could report others who were either sending out emails that were critical of healthcare reform or for even speaking out against healthcare reform. It was set up in the guise of trying to weed out the lies that the Obama administration is claiming that have been levied against the reform bill.

  We soon learned that this tip line was most likely illegal and now the White House has disabled it, a clear admission that at the very least the White House used very bad judgement in setting up this tip line in the first place. At worst, the White House has been criminal. Disabling this tip line still does not answer the biggest question, what was the White House doing with the names that they surely have compiled?

  By ending this program the White House is trying to turn the corner and pretend that this never happened but the president should still not be left off of the hook. I want to know and I am entitled to know what the president has done with the names that were turned in. Just because the tip line is closed it doesn’t mean that this issue is closed. This administration may have committed a crime and I demand an investigation into any wrongdoing that this administration may have been involved in.

  If this administration has committed a crime it needs to be held accountable!
