This week the Obama administration, has done just that. A petition urging,for more appropriate action to combat the Ebola situation on the United,States home front has been deleted from Whitehouse.gov, citing The petition,you are trying to access has been removed from the site under our Moderation Policy because it is in violation of our Terms of Participation.
In light of the CDC’s protocols which have,proven to be ineffective after two nurses were effected with the virus in Texas recently, the public outcry for a tightening of visas from those flying in from Ebola-struck,countries, is justifiable. Yet Obama’s response has,downplayed the situation by stating that We know the,protocols and we know that when they’re followed, they work.
Australia’s Prime Minister has,announced this week that travel bans will be in place for the foreseeable future. “We’re not processing,any [tourist, study or,humanitarian] applications from the affected,countries,” immigration,minister, Scott Morrison, told Parliament.
The question begs why the petition was,taken down in the first place. By removing it, Obama’s administration appears to be more,concerned with the narrative,rather than actions. Kit Daniels, a reporter for Infowars,elaborates, no where in the First,Amendment does it state,citizens can only petition the government for a redress of grievances if they accept terms and conditions,written by the White House.
