Yesterday, I posted about the NEA conference calls clear and obvious violations of the Anti-Lobbying Act (19 U.S. Code §1913), which explicitly provides: No part of the money appropriated by any enactment of Congress shall, in the absence of express authorization by Congress, be used directly or indirectly to pay for any personal service, advertisement, telegram, telephone, letter, printed or written matter, or other device, intended or designed to influence in any manner a Member of Congress, a jurisdiction, or an official of any government, to favor, adopt, or oppose by vote or otherwise, any legislation, law, ratification, policy, or appropriation, whether before or after the introduction of any bill, measure or resolution proposing such legislation, law, ratification, policy or appropriation The Anti-Lobbying Act, according to government handbooks, prevents government employees from engaging in substantial grass roots lobbying campaigns expressly urging individuals to contact government officials in support of or opposition to legislation . Provid[ing] administrative support for lobbing activities of private organizations
Violation of this law, in turn, violates 31 U.S. Code §1352, which, if read broadly, bans the use of federal funds for lobbying by the recipients: funds appropriated by any Act [may not be] expended by the recipient of a Federal contract, grant, loan, or cooperative agreement to pay any person for influencing or attempting to influence an officer or employee of any agency, a Member of Congress, an officer or employee of Congress, or an employee of a Member of Congress in connection with any Federal action
But thats not all...

Thank you.
No laws were broken. Laws are for Conservatives. When a liberal breaks a law, its because the law is flawed. All animals are equal. Some animals are more equal than others.
And who wants the next conservative hair cut at the Bastille?
For later.
“No laws were broken. Laws are for Conservatives. When a liberal breaks a law, its because the law is flawed. All animals are equal. Some animals are more equal than others.”
Succinctly stated - sarcasm noted.
Sadly noting that it’s true also.
I volunteer to run the guillotine after the upcoming revolution.
This is HUGE. This is bigger than the ACORN thing. This shows that the Obama Administrastion is converting the government itself into an arm of the Democrat Party! This is major.
If he succeeds we would need an armed revolution to take them out of power.
"Courrielche said the now ubiquitous Obama 'Hope' poster by artist Shepard Fairey and musician will.i.am's 'Yes We Can' song and music video were offered as 'shining examples' of the artist group's clear impact on Obama's landslide election."
I wanted to make an art piece of Barack Obama because I thought an iconic portrait of him could symbolize and amplify the importance of his mission. I believe Obama will guide this country to a future where everyone can thrive and I should support him vigorously for the sake of my two young daughters. I have made art opposing the Iraq war for several years, and making art of Obama, who opposed the war from the start, is like making art for peace. I know I have an audience of young art fans and Im delighted if I can encourage them to see the merits of Barack Obama.

It is major.
Democrats are corrupt. College students are easily misled. And in other news, the sky is dark at night.
Yawn. Nothing here. Move on.

They need to go to jail — “pour encourager les autres”
Precisely.
>> They need to go to jail pour encourager les autres
Certainly works for me.
Time to file a “Qui Tam” suit against the Obama Administration for illegal use of taxpayer money.
