It's a small first step...

I just thought I'd share this with AD, hopefully I'm not being conceited.

So this reporter had joined AD and PM'd me and asked if I'd like to be interviewed and I agreed. That small quote was the result of answering about 5 minutes of questions.

COOL!

Now, if we can just get the White House and 10 Downing Street to listen as well....

The G8 Summit is coming to an isolated island about 70 miles south of Savannah - think we could find an interested ear or two there?

Congrats, Billy. This is really cool - thanks for sharing.

By the way, the other AD member being quoted is our very own amf.



You are quite welcome! Anything for AD!

FYI - Both Billy Jean & amf have given their permission to have this information posted here. Again - thank you both for sharing. AND - thank you for representing the forum so well. You both sounded great!

I don't think Bush and Blair have time to logon to America's Debate

Maybe, but they have staff who do. You never know who's listening in...

Yeah - Bush is way too busy playing video games and napping and Blair is actually governing a country. America's Debate does get a lot of traffic from .gov addresses, though...

Congrats on your quotes. Pretty cool!!



Do they really?? Guess I better rethink what I say! Don't want the FBI, CIA, Homeland Security, etc. knocking on my door.

Hey, Jaime, will we get a heads-up on any subpeonas delivered to you?

For the record, we would fight any subpoenas harder than any fight we've ever put up (fyi - we've never had any contacts with any government entities requesting info).

All of your privacy is of the utmost importance to us and we will do everything possible (including sitting in jail on contempt charges) not to hand over any of your information.

Don't get spooked by the .gov guests. My hunch is that most of them are just like you & me - sitting at work, surfing the net, stealing from their employer

Phew!!! Actually I was just kidding, I would certainly hope our freedom to speak would apply here!

You never know who is reading these boards and it's one of the reasons Admin strives so hard to keep the level of debate very high. This incident alone is proof positive that we are read by a wide variety of people, many who don't actually participate except to read and you never know what influence our words might have on policy.

Congratulations amf and Billy Jean. You represent AD very well.

Heh heh - as if I needed another reason to remind folks to use proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Bela's right - you never know who may be reading - or better yet - citing your work.

Well then that's some list.
So the Feds are listening
Hmmm
That's O.K my house is lined with tin foil I'm protected.
Hey that George Bush Love him, Great President Should be elected KING
I didn't mean to tear the tag off the mattress it just happened
Death to the Spotted Owl
I live to serve corporate america
I await the secret signal
I have the 8X10' with all the notes on the back
I look good in suits Can I PLEASE be one of the Men In Black PLEEAASE!
