Predictable: Obama HHS Caught Illegally Campaigning For Democrats

It is supposed to be illegal to use taxpayer dollars to fund political propaganda. Not for this regime! from The Washington Examiner via Instapundit: Obama HHS Caught Campaigning For Democrats

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.

...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.

Any takers in the US House? Then again, will it even matter? The democrats have already found a way to legally launder taxpayer money forcing said taxpayers to fund the Democratic Party via forced union dues. This is just a drop in the bucket compared to that.
