Well, that will be WONDERFUL!!!
[ARTICLE BELOW]
http://www.actionlyme.org/index.htm
See, we have a HUGE PROBLEM in Corrupticut- James Amann, D-Milford:
http://www.actionlyme.org/index.htm
This can replace the bogus system we have now with the airheaded,
arrogant "elected
representatives," who never return phone calls and are in it only for
themselves.
For instance, this moron James Amann
http://www.actionlyme.org/MARTIN_NINDS_MS_CHRONIC_LYME.htm
(D-Milford, yet another Milford PSYCHO), who is a fundraiser for the
Multiple
Sclerosis Society, and his even dumber and more arrogant assistant,
"Kathleen
T., the Alleged Chemist," who knows absolute zero about chemistry or
she would
not be working for Amann, she would be working for us.
About one third of all MS cases are Lyme (Borreliosis or Relapsing
Fever), and the
rest are the immune-suppression outcomes of Pam3Cys-
http://www.actionlyme.org/PAM3CYS_IMMUNE_SUPPRESSION.htm
activation of latent viruses of all kinds, like Epstein-Barr (which
causes cancer
and Multiple Sclerosis). In other words, this arrogant dick-head,
Amann and his
looney-tunes fake "chemist," served themselves instead of the people
and
obstructed our access to not only the CT General Assembly, but the
Multiple Sclerosis
community. Amann did everything for HIMSELF, and not the people.
That>s what
"elected representative" means.
Ya gotta read about what an insane bitch!! that Kathleen T.
the fake chemist is:
http://www.actionlyme.org/MARTIN_NINDS_MS_CHRONIC_LYME.htm
Rather, people should call her and pretend they>re Lyme
victims and see what a bitch she is for themselves...
If we can by-pass the "elected representatives," that would be
the best thing that happened to this country since the end
of the Revolutionary War.

Obama to preside over White House 2.0
Agence France-Presse

WASHINGTON (AFP) — Get ready for White House 2.0. That>s what many are
expecting
when President-Elect Barack Obama becomes President Obama in January
and puts the
power of his unprecedented Internet operation to work in the Oval
Office.
Obama relied heavily on the Web for his victory over John McCain --
from organizing
volunteers to fundraising to communicating -- and expectations are
high he will
turn to the Internet again to further his White House agenda.
"A lot of people are speculating," said Julie Germany, director of
George
Washington University>s Institute for Politics Democracy & the
Internet.
"Will an Obama administration use its vast back-end system, its
database, all
of the online communities it developed, to actually mobilize
advocacy?"
"It could, for example, email or text message or call people who live
in certain
districts to get them to lobby their senators and congressmen on
issues that the
Obama administration cares about," she said.
Micah Sifry, co-founder of techpresident.com, a blog about politics
and the Web,
thinks it will -- or at least try.
"By giving people a sense that they really do have a stake and a say
they will
be much more motivated to do things in support of his legislative
agenda because
they>ll feel like it>s their agenda too," Sifry said.
"He is going to learn, either by succeeding or failing at this, that
the more
he partners with his supporters the more power he will have," he said
"The more he simply tries to push a message at them and make them do
something
the less power he will have," Sifry added.
Obama>s first moves after winning the election would indicate that he
plans
to not only mobilize his faithful but also listen to them.
In an email sent to millions of supporters on election night, Obama
thanked those
who gave their "time, talent, and passion to this campaign."
But, he added, there was still "a lot of work to do" and he would "be
in touch soon about what comes next."
Change.gov, the official website launched by the Obama transition team
on Thursday,
invites users to "share your story and your ideas, and be part of
bringing
positive lasting change to this country."
Under the headline of "Open Government," change.gov urges users to
"Share
Your Vision" via email and asks them for their email address and zip
code,
essential elements in building an online data-base.
Craig Newmark, founder of online classifieds site craigslist.com,
served as a technology
adviser to Obama and is an advocate for a more open and responsive
government.
"In New York and San Francisco there are so-called '311' programs,"
he said. "The idea is that it>s customer service for local government
and
if you need a pothole fixed you contact 311.
"Well let>s start expanding 311 systems to all of government," he
said.
"There>s also the whole transparency thing," Newmark added. "The
Internet is all about transparency. The first phase is the election
campaign then,
afterwards, getting some real grass-roots democracy in there."
David Almacy, who served as Internet and e-communications director for
President
George W. Bush, said the Internet is "a very powerful tool in
communicating
the president>s agenda."
"The Internet is basically a 24-hour seven-day-a-week spokesperson,"
Almacy
said. "While we>re sleeping at night it>s still available for those
who are searching on energy legislation or the war on terror or the
war in Iraq."
Almacy, who overhauled whitehouse.gov during his two years in the
White House, making
it a much more dynamic website, warned though that the Obama
administration may
find there are limits to how much it can do.
For example, "you>re not allowed to place cookies on people>s
machines,"
he said of the electronic spies which gather information about users.
"We had
to work within the bounds that we were able to play with."
"There might be some people who would be less likely to trust the
government
as much as they trust their political campaigns," Almacy added.
Sifry said Obama "seems to have the right instinct but the proof is
going to
be in the pudding, as they say, in the details of how this plays out."
Germany agreed. "There>s a huge difference between being a candidate
and
actually being in the administration, and a lot changes from the day
you win an
election and the day you>re inaugurated," she said. |
