US Representative Sue Myrick (NC-09) has released the following statement in response to the White House’s decision to discontinue the collection of “fishy” information on health care reform:
“A program like this was never necessary. People have every right to voice their concerns about proposed health care reform without the fear that they will be reported to the White House. With these tactics no longer being used, I hope that the health care debate can continue in a meaningful and productive manner.”
Rep. Myrick sent a letter to President Obama earlier this month asking him two questions: 1) How will the “fishy” information collected via flag@whitehouse.gov be used?; and 2) Will the people who are flagged as “fishy” be made aware that they’ve been reported?
To date, there has been no reply.

George Linker (far right) and Joe Epley, representatives of the Wheeler James Chamber (Chap. VI) of the Special Forces Association, presented a check from the chapter for $1,100 to Gary Brown and Tina Ross Duke of the Mint Hill Rotary Club. The funds will go to the Flight of Honor program sponsored by the Rotary Clubs from Rotary district 7680. The Rotarians from throughout the western Piedmont of North Carolina are chartering an air bus to take World War II veterans to Washington to view the WWII memorial. The WWII vets do not have to pay anything for the trip. Most can’t afford it and many have health problems that require someone to escort them. Brown and Dennis Myers are going along as escorts. The escorts pay their own way.
Brown served with Linker and Epley in Co B, 20th SFGA and was with SSG Wheeler James when he was accidentally killed while on an unconventional warfare field training exercise in the Louisiana swamps in 1967.
