a 'fishy email' report, what does it do with the email. For example,
if Loogy forwards an email from me to the White House, what happens to

The issue is not that. The concern is that someone sends the Whitehouse
an email you wrote or forwarded and the headers show your email address.
The Whitehouse can't erase that material for about a dozen years or so.
The insinuation is that the Whitehouse possibly harvested a list from
those emails and emailed "detractors" with a sales pitch.. I am not
saying it happened, but that is the insinuation..

I'm betting that you think the Bush admin. did nothing like that, huh?

I don't recall the Bush administration asking me to forward 'fishy'
emails so the administration could take action.

Do you have a reference?


That's odd, I don't remember anyone from the Obama admin. contacting me
to forward "fishy" emails. Did they contact you, or anyone you know? OR
could it be another conservative lie?

You mean a true liberal, like yourself, isn't wired to the White
House?

Shame on you.

From the source, "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 ."

Sounds like phishing to me. Haven't you been forwarding all the posts
from folks not agreeing with Obama?
