This is what I sent to the ACLU this morning
This is the time for the ACLU to stand up for the Rights of the American People who are against the health care plans of Obama and the Democrats, and prove that the ACLU stands for civil rights, and not liberal interests.
Imagine if this had happened under President Bush
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. 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. (http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/Facts-Are-Stubborn-Things/)
Would the ACLU have gone ballistic, and rightly so? Yes. Will the ACLU now stand up for this program, which is directly against the meaning of the Free Speech and protest portions of the 1st Amendment, which is to be able to criticize the government without fear of reprisal? I await your response, and to see if the ACLU will stand up for this blatant interference and violation of our 1st Amendment Rights.
Would you surprised if the ACLU pretty much blew this off? Yeah, I didn’t think so

So, now actual response, but, an attempt to get me to donate. Figures. When push comes to shove, the ACLU shows they are no more than a leftist mouth piece 99% of the time.
What? The ACLU is a mouthpiece for leftist agendas? No!
Way to go Admiral!

We need an American Constitutional Liberties Union.
I thought they might possibly take an interest in this issue, but, not even close. It was rather shocking, eh Duncan?
Thanks, Bob!
You are very much right, Smitty. Need someone to stand up for the actual Constitution, since the Democrats won’t.

To Whom It May Concern…
Under your definition, I–someone who believes in a free market-based health care system–am espousing ‘fishy’ views [your DHS did certify me, after all, a ‘Rightwing (sic) Extremist’].
Under my definition of the word, everything members of the Administration have said about the current and proposed Health Care System is not simply fishy, but rotten fishy.
However, as the President put it so succinctly: ‘I won’. Therefore I must conclude that your fishy definition of ‘fishy’ is the one that you abide by [for the moment–you are relativists, after all, and proud of it] and this is the definition you want us to apply in these denunciations.
Therefore, herewith, wherein, and heretofore, I turn my self in as a purveyor of ‘fishy’ views with the understanding that I will immediately be classified in your database as ‘UNMUTUAL’ [I would only request that the number you assign me is ‘6’].
I know that after proper re-education, I will be able to say with pride: ‘It is all right, everything is all right, the struggle is finished. I have had won a victory over myself. I love Big Brother’. I also know that, at that point, I will be declared an ‘unperson’.
Awaiting speedsend to joycamp, I remain…
