New documents obtained by Judicial Watch through a Freedom of Information Act request show that the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) spent over one million taxpayer dollars promoting Obamacare in coordination with the 2010 mid-term elections.
The documents include correspondence between HHS officials and representatives from The Ogilvy Group, the public relations firm hired to drive web traffic to an HHS site promoting Obamacare as "the Affordable Care Act."
On October 25, 2010, HHS New Media Communications Director Julia Eisman sent an email to Ogilvy Senior Vice President Imani Green, reading, "Given the high performance, we're wondering if we should we consider reallocating resources from the lesser performing words and put more $$ to ‘Obamacare’ - at least for the next 7 days." Seven days from October 25, 2010, was November 2nd, Election Day.
"There is nothing special about November 2nd other than the fact that it was Election Day," Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton told The Examiner. "What possible reason could the Obama HHS have for maximizing their propaganda dollars in the seven days before Election Day other than to elect Democrats? This seems to be a blatant violation of the Hatch Act, among other laws. Congress needs to get on the ball and investigate," he concluded.
...It’ll just be another “Stonewall”...
This is just vile . not surprising but vile
the question is will anything come of it?
Any bets on whether MSM will cover this
Whats another violation to this pack of crooks. They don’t care.
IF there were to be investigations into all the lawlessness of these people, they would finish sometime around 2075.
And they want us to follow the unconstitutional laws they pass.
The more appropriate question is what the linguini-spined RINOs in the Congress will do about it.
I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say—NOTHING.
These days modern Democrat party has FAR more in common with Al Capone and John Gotti than with Karl Marx. Sure, there are atill some “usefull idiots” (”Democratic Socialists”/media types), who still believe the Marxist lies, but they are NOT in charge! The leadership DemMafia knows different (Obama/Pelosi/Reid). To them laws are to attack your enemies with, not to obey. Union thugs and other “soldiers” will march in obedience till the money runs out. And it’s ALL about the money!
This has got to be the most corrupt, incompetent administration in history.
Why pay Ogilvy Group when they have CBS,CNN,NBC,PBS,ABC?
Parking scofflaws in most major cities pay a heavier penalty than people who violate our election laws
I’m shocked shocked.
The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
goog ping
OBAMA IS BREAKING THE FEDERAL LAW BY GRANTING AMNESTY TO MILLIONS OF ILLEGALS WHO ARE CRIMINAL TRESPASSERS.
THIS IS AN IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE
CALL YOUR CONGRESSMEN AND DEMAND OBAMA BE IMPEACHED!!!!
OBAMA IS TRYING TO STEAL THE ELECTION!
IF 20 MILLION ILLEGALS ARE NOW NOT AFRAID TO VOTE, WE ARE FINISHED!
The most corrupt, absolutely, but I think it’s dangerous to think of theme in terms of incompetent. The Carter administration was incompetent, this one is just pure evil.
Yeah, the GOP will get right on this. ;)
HHS is going to be soooo sorry for breaking the law...just like DOJATFFBIDHS. They are all just quaking in their jack boots.:)
