The Dems/Obama have a new tool for canvasing neighborhoods to look for potential voters. The problem is they made the "app", which works on Apple iPhones and iPads, is open to the public. Don't want your neighbors to know how you vote . . . well sucks to be you if you are a Democrat because its now easily found information.

Curious how many Democrats live on your block? Just download the Obama campaign's new mobile app.


The app, released last week, includes a Google map for canvassers that recognizes your current location and marks nearby Democratic households with small blue flags.

For each targeted address, the app displays the first name, age and gender of the voter or voters who live there: "Lori C., 58 F, Democrat."

All this is public information, which campaigns have long given to volunteers. But you no longer have to schedule a visit to a field office and wait for a staffer to hand you a clipboard and a printed-out list of addresses.

With the Obama app, getting a glimpse of your neighbor's political affiliation can take seconds.

While The New York Times dubbed the app "the science-fiction dream of political operatives," some of the voters who appear in the app are less enthusiastic about it.

"I do think it's something useful for them, but it's also creepy," said Lori Carena, 58, a long-time Brooklyn resident, when she was shown the app. "My neighbors across the street can know that I'm a Democrat. I'm not sure I like that."

Well here in Indiana its pretty easy to tell how people vote. In Salem there is a guy with a pieces of white board nailed to a post in his yard. Scrawled on the board are the words "PISS ON OBAMA."

Don't think you need an "app" to tell how he might vote.
 
I'm sure that this app. Isn't being used by mother government .:whistling:
Hell they probably track our toilet habits . Sooner or later this has to be stopped .

Yeah, that would be embarrassing.

On the other hand, I am not aware of anyone that is embarrassed to be a Republican. They are proud of it. What does this tell us about progressivism?
