Clearly, this bunch of goons believes this type of "campaigning" is within the bounds of decency and totally appropriate. They must think they have "ownership" of millions of federal workers. These are not your own personal horde of sheeple obama.
The White House Office of Health Reform Director Nancy-Ann DeParle has been feverishly sending out unsolicited email messages to federal employees in an effort to build support for President Barack Obama’s health reform package over the last several weeks.
DeParle’s unsolicited emails have been regularly coming to some federal employees’ official government email inboxes for weeks without permission or request, causing some federal employees to feel threatened by the overt political language.
The unsolicited emails also request that the federal employees take action in order to ensure that Obama’s health reform package is passed and the federal budget isn’t at risk for bankruptcy. One federal employee was so concerned about DeParle’s language in one email that he questioned whether his department’s budget would be cut or eliminated without passage of Obama’s bill.
I write to the White House on occassion, to express opinions. So, I'm on their mailing list. This past week I have been getting 2 or 3 e-mails each day.
So, it's not just the Federal Employees.
I guess this is a "do-or-die" situation for them. They must feel that if this does not go through they will be complete failures. It's too bad - This is a narrow mindset. With such a close vote and polls, they should back away from this and go on to re-structuring it for the fall, and deal with other issues at hand.
Going to Federal employees from an official computer to an official computer might be skirting with, or an actual violation, of the Hatch Act, although it has been modified some over the last several years.
