Free Speech and the Misinformation Police

I am so outraged and in disbelief about what is going on in America today I finally had to post something about it! If anyone had told me last year that by this time this year the White House would be calling American citizens who disagree with their insane health care reform bill a"mobs of thugs" I would have NEVER believed them!
I can't believe that the White House wants Americans to report misinformation they receive about the health care reform bill. Why does the White House care what citizens talk about? Isn't this still America? Don't we still have free speech or is that taken away in the 1000 page health care bill that no one has read?
I also wonder what the White House plans to do with all of the names that are being submitted to them as people who are spreading "misinformation". Is the White House going to send the misinformation police to visit the guilty parties? What will the "misinformation police" tell the guilty parties? Will they be threatened or maybe they will be given the 1000 page bill to read so they won't spread any more misinformation? I only thought that this kind of thing went on in Communist countries-not in the United States of America.
I have never been so scared for my children's future as I am today. I am beginning to think that my children may not have the same freedoms that I grew up with!
