Email Disinformation

 ! Caution !

If you've been the recipient of an email recently making the cyberspace circuit--an email supposedly tipping us off to the faults of the Congressional health care plan, HR 3200--take note.  You've been scammed, or at the very least, misinformed.

Check out the email and the actual facts at FactCheck.org, always a good stop for digging up reliable information about public issues.  Here's the FactCheck page that shows the email and dissects its points.

In case you're wondering, FactCheck is a project of the The Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania, which is dedicated to communication issues. It's a fine idea to know the source of what you read.  To that end, I'm trying to provide source information whenever I present something besides my own opinion.
