cease emailing out whitehouse.gov passwords in plain text within account confirmation emails.

Created by D.R. on January 26, 2013

I just created an account at whitehouse.gov in order to sign a petition and was surprised that whithouse.gov then sent me an email to confirm my account which included my account password in plain text. This obviously creates an unnecessary security issue. Please fix.
