Members of Congress Bashing Me Online Over Illegal Alien Reporting
I've got a weird situation. Two members of Congress are bashing me online and one of them says he is writing a letter to the Department of Justice in a effort to shut down my website. The website is IllegalAlienReport.com and it was featured in The Huffington Post yesterday.
In response I've asked Rep. Joe Crowley to leave us alone, but my business partner I fear has taken things a bit further. IAR is a prototype for a site being built with the goal of combining Craigslist and Facebook like features with free speech friendly policies the likes of which neither have. He thinks that this latest feud with Crowley and another member of Congress could be a good opportunity to test out the final product by targeting them specifically. The final product is nowhere near ready and he thinks it could change government, but his rhetoric is too extreme even for me. He thinks that if Crowley persists that he should be "removed from office before his term is up" because his removal would assure the future of people to engage in free speech.
I agree with my friend on many things including the final goal of the project, but I don't think enlisting the help of people in foreign countries for the purpose of administering assets is enough to protect him the way he thinks it would. He thinks if he keeps his servers, domains, and money offshore that he can do whatever he wants.
