“At Least 6 Federal Laws and Regulations Violated By the NEA Conference Call
by Ben Shapiro

http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/bshapiro/2009/09/22/at-least-6-federal-laws-and-regulations-violated-by-the-nea-conference-call/

Yesterday, I posted about the NEA conference call�s 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 that�s not all. The conference call also violates the Hatch Act � in particular, 5 U.S. Code �7323(a)(4), which prohibits federal employees from �knowingly solicit[ing] or discourag[ing] the participation in any political activity of any person who � (A) has an application for any compensation, grant, contract, ruling, license, permit, or certificate pending before the employing office of such employee ��

And then there are regulations of the Office of Management and Budget. At least one organization represented on the conference call � Americans for the Arts � has charitable 501(c)(3) status. Under OMB Circular No. A-122, Attachment B, Section 25, federal moneys going to 501(c)3s cannot be used for �(1)Attempts to influence the outcomes of any Federal, State, or local election, referendum, initiative, or similar procedure, through in kind or cash contributions, endorsements, publicity ,or similar activity; � (3) Any attempt to influence: (i) The introduction of Federal or State legislation; or (ii) the enactment or modification of any pending Federal or State legislation through communication with any member or employee of the Congress or State legislature (including efforts to influence State or local officials to engage in similar lobbying activity), or with any Government official or employee in connection with a decision to sign or veto enrolled legislation; (4) Any attempt to influence: (i) The introduction of Federal or State legislation; or (ii) the enactment or modification of any pending Federal or State legislation by preparing, distributing or using publicity or propaganda, or by urging members of the general public or any segment thereof to contribute to or participate in any mass demonstration, march, rally, fundraising drive, lobbying campaign or letter writing or telephone campaign �� The responsibility falls on the federal agencies to implement the OMB circular. If any of the 501(c)3s on the call received federal moneys at any time near the conference call, the federal agency authorities who approved such disbursements violated this circular.

Also, many of the groups on the line were 501(c)(4) organizations, tax-exempt civic organizations who are generally allowed to lobby. Except if they receive federal funds, that is: �An organization described in section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 which engages in lobbying activities shall not be eligible for the receipt of Federal funds constituting an award, grant, or loan.� (P.L. 104-99 �129.) �Lobbying activities� are defined narrowly � they apply to contact with federal officials. But that, of course, is the whole point here: these artists are supposed to provide the groundwork for such contacts, which is barred by law.

It gets even worse. Under 18 U.S.C. �371, it could be found that this call was designed to defraud the United States: �If two or more persons conspire either to commit any offense against the United States, or to defraud the United States, or any agency thereof in any manner or for any purpose, and one or more of such persons do any act to effect the object of the conspiracy, each shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.� Courts, in fact, have found that action designed to accomplish political activities with federal funds falls under this statute: in 1980, the 8th Circuit held in United States v. Pintar that where individuals conspired to use a federal program �to accomplish political objectives � unrelated to legitimate [agency] business,� they had defrauded �the United States of its right to have programs of an agency financed � by the United States Government � administered, honestly, fairly, without corruption or deceit.�

Undoubtedly, there is more to come here. At the very least, a bevy of federal laws have been violated. Any failure by the Congress of the United States to initiate a full-scale investigation must be considered action designed to enable the misuse of taxpayer funds in violation of federal law.”

“Beck: Obama was mentored as a youth by a communist. He sought out the Marxist professors at college. He went to a black liberation theology church for 20 years. He worked his �whole adult life� with social justice, community-organizing groups and the SEIU.

Why should we believe he doesn�t want Marxism? And I don�t care what you call it, but it�s shades of one of these things � I don�t know what it is and no one will ask the question. But what do you call spreading the wealth around? It�s certainly not the American dream and the free market system.

Obama has certainly not forgotten or lost track of the political and community organizing activities on the ground and he has not forgotten how to �pull together the actual coalition of powers through which you bring about redistributive change.�”

Ummm... Christian?

Blessed [be ye] poor: for yours is the kingdom of God. But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation.

It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.

Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.

But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation.

Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done [it] unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done [it] unto me.

So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.”

“There was no significant middle class in the 19th century.
The wealthy and powerful controlled the legislative process to their advantage perpetrating class warfare.

It is only through the tempering of capitalism with social justice, through the democratic legislative process, that the U.S. or any other country has a middle class and prosperity for most if not all citizens.

Communism and Marxism are demonstrably disastrous systems of governance and are sprung from the abuses of capitalism.

It is the maintenance of social justice that keeps the dogs of communism from our door.

One of the reasons for the 1944 G.I. Bill was to "appease" the projected masses of young men who would soon be unemployed when the war inevitably ended.

If those millions of men had merely been turned out to fend for themselves with nothing to constructively occupy their time there was a perception that they would be susceptible to influence from communist ideology.

It can be argued that the G.I. Bill was a massive "socialist" program but thanks to those with cool heads and insight it became a reality, in spite of conservative objections, and it helped to further growth of a middle class.

Another "socialist horror" that was fought bitterly by conservatives in the '30s is Social Security.

But thanks to Social Security grandma does not "have to die",”

The Middle Class

note subdivisions within the middle class (bankers, industrialists, professionals, merchants, managers, etc.)

movement within the "middle classes" more common than "rising" from working classes into the middle class

middle class ideal of "self-made men" in a society where status should rest on talent and ability

middle class belief in basic ideals of "laissez-faire liberalism"�economic individualism, limited state functions, natural law, freedom of contract, free competition and free trade

middle class emphasis on "virtues" of thrift, industriousness, efficiency, modesty, sobriety, self-control, respectability, "manliness" (and patriarchy)

middle class disdain for the aristocracy as corrupt, morally inferior, wasteful, "soft," effeminate, undeserving of their status and political power

middle class disdain and fear of the working class as morally and intellectually weak, animalistic, sexually profligate, drunken, lazy (belief that poverty was the result of moral/character failings, failure to "pull yourself by your own bootstraps"), envious and contemptuous of others' success and property, and potentially dangerous

middle class belief that the poor could be "reformed" with guidance on how to improve themselves�on how to behave more like the middle class. Some middle class people believed that this guidance should come from government agencies (e.g., schools), some believed it was a matter of individual conscience

strong middle class sense (self-consciousness) of the middle class as a class, with its own class interests ”

Radicals Wrote Failed Stimulus

By INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY | Posted Monday, September 21, 2009 4:30 PM PT

Policymaking: If the stimulus isn't working, perhaps it's because it was largely written by a collection of leftist interest groups called the Apollo Alliance that counts among its directors a co-founder of the Weather Underground.


The Labor Department reported Friday that 42 states lost more jobs than they gained in August, and that 14 plus Washington, D.C., reported unemployment rates of 10% or more.

Michigan's rate rose to 15.2%, highest in the nation. Nevada, represented by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, is second with 13.2%. California, home of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, is tied for fourth with Oregon at 12.2%.

Clearly, the stimulus bill that no congressman read is not working. As it turns out, no congressman may have written it either. It's largely the creation of a coalition of leftist organizations called the Apollo Alliance, whose primary interests are saving the Earth, environmental justice and redistributing wealth. They are not friends of job-creating capitalism.

On Apollo's Web site, Sen. Reid, whose state also leads in foreclosures, is quoted praising the group of which former green czar Van Jones was a board member.

"We've talked about moving forward on these ideas for decades," Reid is quoted as saying. "The Apollo Alliance has been an important factor in helping us develop and execute a strategy that makes great progress on these goals and in motivating the public to support them."

Jones, the former Oakland, Calif., community organizer and self-avowed communist, was on the board of the Apollo Alliance when he accepted the position in the Obama administration as green jobs czar.

As Phil Kerpen of Americans for Prosperity told Glenn Beck, Jones has "described the Apollo Alliance mission as sort of a grand unified field theory for progressive left causes" that would tie elements of organized labor with community organizers and environmental groups into an outfit that would restructure American society.

Wade Rathke, founder of Acorn, was also on the Apollo board, as is Gerald Hudson, vice president of the Service Employees International Union, which provides the shock troops in the movement to pass government-run health care.

John Podesta, former chief of staff to President Clinton and now president of the leftist Center for American Progress, also sits on the Apollo board. Each day his group sends out talking points to the left side of the blogosphere. Mark Lloyd, diversity czar at the Federal Communications Commission, was a senior fellow at CAP.

According to Kerpen, the Apollo Alliance put together a draft stimulus bill in 2008 that included almost everything in the final $787 billion package. Little did the voters know that the congressmen and senators they would elect would pass a bill written by activist outsiders.

Perhaps the most bizarre aspect of all this is that an even more radical Jones (no relation) has a relationship with the Apollo Alliance. Jeff Jones was a domestic terrorist in the '60s and a fugitive from justice throughout the '70s who, with Bill Ayers, helped found the Weather Underground in 1969.

Ayers, Jones and the Weathermen participated in the violent Days of Rage riots in Chicago and a nationwide anti-government bombing campaign. Like Ayers, Jeff Jones has no regrets, saying: "To this day, we still, lots of us, including me, still think it was the right thing to do."

Today, Jones finds himself director of the Apollo Alliance's New York affiliate and a consultant to the national group. One of his clients is the Workforce Development Institute, a union-controlled organization.

As a consultant to WDI, Jones helps write the grant proposals for federal stimulus dollars — funds authorized in the bill that Apollo helped write — all to ensure that taxpayer dollars end up in the hands of groups that share Apollo's political agenda.

Welcome to government of the activist, by the activist and for the activist.”

READ what I posted, azzhole.

"our nation and the Europeans" are responsible for the current consumer products produced in the former colonies of recent times produced under much of the same deplorable conditions as they were decades ago.
The deplorable treatment of colonial subjects was and still is meted out according to the old racial hierarchy.

Mutt, I don't think the Phoenicians and Egyptians of 3,000 years ago have as much significance to the modern world as does Euro colonialism of the last 300 years.

The same commercial relationships from more recent colonialism exist today.

The former Dutch, English, French, Belgian, American, Portuguese, etc colonial business entities are still with us.

And to discredit your feeble attempt at ridicule, Phoenician and Greek and Egyptian empires are long gone and have little real bearing on today's world.

I can't believe that you are stupid, ignorant, and dishonest enough to deny the above.
OK, selectively ignorant and dishonest............two out of three ain't bad.

It's not "white guilt" and certainly not "racism" on my part, but it is racial awareness.

Perhaps it is "white guilt" on your part to ignore those factors and it is beyond stupid.”

Glenn Beckk thinks President Obama is better for the country than John McCain would have been, he said in an interview with Katie Couric to air at CBSNews.com Tuesday evening.

"I think John McCain would have been worse for the country than Barack Obama," Beck told Couric in the debut episode of her new web show, @katiecouric.

Beckk's comment came in response to Couric's question about Hillary Clinton, who Beck said he may have even voted for had she been the Democratic nominee against John McCain.

"I can't believe I'm saying this," Beckkk said, "I think I would have much preferred [Hillary Clinton] as president and may have voted for her against John McCain."

He described McCain as "this weird progressive like Theodore Roosevelt was."

The full interview airs at CBSNews.com Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET.

McCain "Honored" By Beck Insult
Posted by Daniel Carty

Conservative commentator Glenn Beck caused a bit of a stir this week, saying on the debut of @katiecouric, Katie Couric's new web-only interview show, that Sen. John McCain "would have been worse for the country than Barack Obama." (watch the Beck interview at left)

Beck also told Couric that McCain was a "weird progressive" like Theodore Roosevelt.

Well, McCain took that as a compliment, saying on the "The Early Show" Wednesday that "any time my name is mentioned in the same breath as Teddy Roosevelt, I am honored. Teddy Roosevelt's my hero."

“The way the left is actingn with so much hate and vitriol, you'd think the republicans controlled the media, the white house, the congress and the supreme court. I think its because deep down they know the democrats are going to screw us all.”
