To: Peter Dierks who wrote (2334 ) 3/8/2006 10:05:37 AM From: PROLIFE Respond to of 224749 HILLARY'S DATABASE We learn today that some Democrats closely allied by Hillary are going to start a private firm that will compile what is described as huge amounts of data on Americans. The purpose? To identify Americans who might be inclined to vote Democratic. The operation will be led by Harold Ickes ... a primary Clinton dog washer of past years and current Hillary advisor. The private for-profit company will be called Data Warehouse, and it will sell the information it gathers to politically active unions and to special interest groups; Moveon.org, for instance. What kind of information will Icke's company collect? Well, voting records, of course. Those are government records and easily retrieved, though it is expensive. They will also be collecting information from consumer research groups. This will include what magazines you subscribe to. Do you own a gun? Icke's database will show that too, as well as what church you go to, how much money you make and who you give it to, and how you vote. Pretty strong stuff, isn't it? Hold on though ... before you go off like a bottle rocket about this effort by Hillary's handlers to amass this information for her presidential run, know this. The Republicans have been and are doing the same thing ... and they have been for years. This is why the these Democrats are cranking up this effort. They need to catch up! They're afraid that the Republicans are way ahead. I just thought you might like to remember all this the next time you pull out a preferred customer card at some drug or grocery store. Those stores maintain a computer database under your name. Is is being sold? The next time you get a call from some solicitor pushing a particular political cause or candidate, do they know what type of breakfast cereal you eat? Privacy? What privacy? boortz.com
