POPSCornyn vs. Big Brother flag@whitehouse.gov "There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation," said Phillips. "Since we can?t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we?re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov," said Philips. Kathryn Jean Lopez

POPSJohn Cornyn Takes on Obama’s flag@whitehouse.gov Program
But Wait! There’s More with the NTIA Congress adopted the Broadband Data Improvement Act in 2008 to compile of map of the nation showing which areas have broadband and which do not. The National Telecommunications and Information Administration is getting the information, but the Obama Administration has decided to use the NTIA to get more than the law requires. Beyond the general data on which parts of the nation have high speed internet access and is it cable or DSL, Obama wants to know down to the individual what the individual has and how much the individual pays. Specifically, the NTIA is now requiring internet provides to give the government “average revenue per end user and data regarding type, technical specification or location of broadband infrastructure,” i.e. your home address, IP address, how much you pay, and where the connection is at your house. The law does not require it. Congress does not want it. The NTIA admits the information will not be used

POPSThe FBI is watching on Twitter and responding It shouldn’t be surprising that our government is monitoring Twitter and other social networking sites. This type of communication is a ‘near perfect’ match to what Big Brother dreams of using to check the pulse of our nations mood. One way to make it perfect for them is if they knew exactly who was behind the masks, i.e., the online names and avatars. Another way would be if everyone used social media sites, but they don’t, so they rely on telco’s to monitor us. I find it interesting that, as one commenter stated, a corporation, in this case Allstate Insurance, intercepted a complaint against their company and responded to the complainant on behalf of Allstate. It would not surprise me to learn that political parties would gather intel from these sites to formulate plans on how to structure their next campaign.

POPSJindal Inaccurate About Stimulus Jindal, speaking to us last night as if we were in the 3rd grade, attempted to show how much the President would be spending...but, it's a lie. We should speak to him like he's in the 3rd grade and explain exactly how badly Louisiana needs that money.

POPSAlaska: Palin Forms PAC, Earthquakes and Volcano Threatens Eruption Sarah Palin positions herself, the earth convulses--earthquakes and Redoubt (an ironic name) Volcano threatens eruption. Are these related? Alaska's Gov. Palin makes major political move, the earth shutters in response. Some think it humorous. Some even might consider this a sign of sorts. An earlier Clipmark showed two major Alaska quakes within 48 hours last weekend .

POPSIs YOUR Name on the NO-FLY List? There's a 1-in-12 chance it is! Whew! Mine isn't.... but this next bit is very worrying for those who maybe are, or will be added to the list unjustly. S3 cannot assist you with more information or with having your name removed from the list.
