The President of the United States has made a request on the White House  
Blog site  (http://www.trauma.org/index.php/community/list/url/http:list.ftech.net/pipermail/trauma-list/2009-August/_http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/_ 
(http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/) )   that citizens at a grass root level report to him and his associates 
anything  that they receive, read, or perceive on the Internet relating to 
Health Care  (Economics) Reform to be "fishy."    

I for one am delighted with the request from President Obama to  report to 
him any thing which I perceive from the web, etc. to appear to me to  be 
"fishy."   This now has provided me and thousands of others a  direct means to 
communicate directly to him with issues of concern.    I have already used 
this vehicle 3 times since yesterday to report several items  which I do 
believe to be "fishy," and I am hopeful that he and his staff, as  well as the 
Congress, and the professional organizations will  address.    The e-mail 
adderss he has constructed specifically  for these health issues is 
_flag at whitehouse.gov_ (mailto:flag at whitehouse.gov) .   

I must commend this President for his effective use and understanding  of 
the power and capability of the Internet.    I also must take  him and his 
staff at their word, that they are truly interested in discovering  those 
things, not only about health care, but all aspects of our economy and  society 
which could be improved from this truly grass roots capability and  access 
to the center of power.  I trust that this will indeed make our  society 
better.   Would it be that access to health care and a doctor  would be this 
streamlined, simple, and cost effective.   I for one  will find a great number 
of opportunities to use this direct access to provide  rapid  communications.

After my first few direct communications, I have now thought of a number of 
 areas which I can submit later today via this new wonderful mechanism and 
those  include disaster, trauma center funding, etc.     With the  millions 
of e-mails that he is receiving via this mechanism, I do hope he has  time 
to read and answer each and every one of them.
