William Wow, I had no idea Teddy Roosevelt was such a faux patriot... choosing Americanism over freedom. http://www.brasschecktv.com/page/327.html -----Original Message----- From: Matteson, John H Jr USA Mr USA 25th SigBN (ITT) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, June 14, 2008 6:48 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: SPAM from Uncle Sam????

But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American... There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag.. We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

Don: The National Do Not Call Registry is legitimate, http://www.donotcall.gov - it's funded by the Do-Not-Cal Improvement Act of 2007; however as far as I know this is the first I have heard of the Fed soliciting for it.
