Proud to be on the White House "Dissident List"

The White House is collecting names of American dissidents. From the official White House blog:

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.

Apparently Barack Obama is taking lessons from the Stasi.When there are too many dissidents to find using only government resources, it is necessary to recruit informants and snitches. All in the name of the Fatherland, of course. It is patriotic to turn over the names of disgruntled citizens to our Dear Leader.

I would be honored to have my name and blog sent to the White House. In fact, I have self-reported.

Copying others, I sent this email to flag@whitehouse.org :

Dear Minister of Propaganda,

As per your request, I'd like to report an American citizen to you for daring to exercise his First Amendment rights and speak out against Barack Obama's attempted political takeover of medicine.

I am reporting myself.

Not only do I believe that political interference in medicine is wrong and impractical, but I've told many other people about my views, and I intend to repeat this grave offense again today.

I fear I am an incorrigible practitioner of the First Amendment and an intransigent defender of individual rights. Please notify me when you have established your re-education camps, so that I may report in person.

Sincerely,

David K. Williams, Jr.

Thanks to Diana Hsieh for the original heads-up on this. Ari Armstrong and Ben DeGrow have also self-reported.
