how many of you would be ready

How many of you would be ready if the government contacted you over something you said or did online??

No problem.
I've had the FBI at the door before (non-internet related, though).
I already assume that there are no secrets, that all is Known!
So when I write something on the net, I assume that the world can see it.
When I do something, I assume the same.
When I think something, I assume the same.
I have no secrets, and am cool to 'take it as it comes'.

That is the wrong question.

The question is would they be ready for me. The answer is, I doubt it.

No, I'm never ready for unexpected guests.
I would appreciate if the call ahead.

Seriously, that should not be out of the question. I have had police call me to make an appointment, but this was not for any political posting on the internet, or anything internet. If they can do this with other matters, they can do it for some political rant, they dont need to rock up at 2am.

Couple of questions for the OP:

When they show up do they have a court order or warrant?
Are these figures Feds or are they something darker (black ops, SSP, etc)?
What did I say, was it seditious or illegal?

If the answer to question 1 is "no" then I am informed of my rights and decline to allow them into my home or to question me without a court order or warrant. I then promptly call an attorney.

If the answer to question 1 is "yes" then I go with them peacefully but refuse to answer any questions until I have an attorney present.

If the answer to question 2 is "Feds" then see the above responses.

If the answer to question 2 is anything other than Feds/Law Enforcement I try to determine their identities and intentions but will most likely go with them peacefully while informing my wife to contact an attorney and then get somewhere safe if at all possible.

Regardless of the answer to question 3 I refuse to answer any questions without an attorney present.

This is a little known fact, police and law enforcement are not looking out for your interests, if they are coming to you it is because they believe that a crime has been committed and you have something they want, they may not even believe you are culpable, but if they can get anything from you while circumventing your rights they will.

You have the right to have an attorney present. You are not obligated by law to answer their questions.

No preparation needed for me, I'll happily stand by everything I've ever posted online.
And if there was some hypothetical round up of 'dissidents' or whatever I'd have ample warning because I know plenty of people who's doors will be knocked well before mine.
