See update below

Patrick McHenry EXPOSED, the website made with the purpose of keeping track of Congressman Patrick McHenry (NC-10), his current involvement in the McHenry-Lay Voter Fraud Scandal and other possible misdeeds of his work was taken offline today at approximately 3:00pm Eastern Standard Time (click here to see the “account suspended” message).

According to an email sent to the editor of McHenry EXPOSED:

In an apparent attempt to silence the message of Patrick McHenry Exposed, our website was disabled today around 3:00pm EST. This effort was undertaken by our host provider, AlphaOne Tech (aka 4Gays Hosting). While no further information is available at this time, we do know that someone contacted the host and made them aware of the site. This person’s complaint was that the information contained on the website was false, misleading and potentially in violation of corporate libel and slander laws. The hosting company is not providing any further details and acted only to protect their own interests - they are not the enemy.

In the past, the editor of McHenry EXPOSED has been threatened by lawsuits based on libel and slander laws. The content on the website, however, is not libel or slander and only the reporting of possible misdeeds, inappropriate activities, irregularities and illegalities coming out of the Office (and life and work) of Congressman Patrick McHenry.

InterstateQ.com and Pat Go Bye-Bye are “News Partners” of McHenry EXPOSED, contributing news and other investigative leads regarding Congressman Patrick McHenry.

The editor of McHenry EXPOSED has already registered a new domain and is currently working to gain access to servers outside of the jurisdiction of the United States of America.

According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, Neo-Nazi groups host their websites targeted toward European audiences in the United States where they can take advantage of our guarantee of Free Speech. If they hosted their sites in their own countries in Europe, they would face criminal charges. Now think… How ironic is it that in a nation which, supposedly, upholds the citizens’ Freedom of Speech and right to keep their elected officials accountable that citizens must find web hosting space outside of their own country to keep themselves safe from those who would attempt to silence their efforts to bring honesty and integrity back to our government?

Again, according to the editor of McHenry EXPOSED:

I’m working on getting the current website back online in the interium - so that folks don’t think we died. The new website will have a totally different look - not sporting the McHenry for Congress theme… at the request of my own attorney. Once back online, the United States Government will not be able to remove the site, outside of petitioning Sweden to do so (the site of our new server).

Update, May 25, 2007: Patrick McHenry EXPOSED is back online with its server in Sweden (my god!). Catch it at www.mchenryexposed.com.
