Have you heard about this? You know, with the Maggie Gallagher story and the Armstrong Williams story, this is such a laugher to me. Senators are going to introduce the Stop Government Propaganda Act. “In response to continued revelations of government-funded ‘journalism\u2019 — ranging from the purported video news releases put out by the drug czar\u2019s office and the Department of Health and Human Services to the recently uncovered payments to columnists Armstrong Williams and Maggie Gallagher… Senators Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass<\/a>.) and Frank R. Lautenberg (D-N.J.<\/a>) will introduce a bill, The Stop Government Propaganda Act, in the Senate next week. ‘It\u2019s just not enough to say, “Please don\u2019t do it anymore,”‘ Alex Formuzis, Lautenberg\u2019s spokesman. ‘Legislation sometimes is required and we believe it is in this case.\u2019 The Stop Government Propaganda Act states, ‘Funds appropriated to an Executive branch agency may not be used for publicity or propaganda purposes within the United States unless authorized by law.'” (Laughter). So the Democrats have left themselves an “out” when they get back in charge of the executive branch. They\u2019ll pass a law saying propaganda is okay. <\/line>The act, they don\u2019t need it. They\u2019ve got the mainstream press as their #1 propaganda arm! They don\u2019t need to buy a thing. This is what was so obvious about campaign finance reform. I mean, you know, their #1 shouting or megaphone couldn\u2019t be shut down because they had First Amendment protection. I mean, the mainstream press doesn\u2019t have to buy media time, it is the media, and so of course the Democrats can afford to do this. “The act would allow citizens to bring qui tam lawsuits on behalf of the United States government when the Department of Justice does not respond. If the matter is taken to court, the bill proposes that the senior official responsible would be fined three times the amount of the ‘misspent taxpayer funds.'” (Laughter). I\u2019m sorry, I\u2019ll tell you why I\u2019m laughing here in a minute. “Plus an additional fine ranging from 5,000 to $10,000, and if a citizen\u2019s lawsuit is accepted, the bill proposes that the plaintiff receive between 25 and 30% of the proceeds of the fine. You know, these fools don\u2019t even realize what they\u2019re doing. Look, folks, the dirty little secret here is that the vast majority of government grant money goes to left-wingers. <\/line>Almost half of the EPA budget, for example, is grant money to a bunch of these wacko environmentalists out there telling all these lies about global warming and fossil fuels and the rest. Most of that goes to these left-wing groups. So as far as I\u2019m concerned, anytime they issue some press release or white paper or their spokesmen appear on radio or TV and their group has received government money, then they\u2019ve violated the law. I\u2019m serious about this. If we\u2019re going to come up with a Stop Government Propaganda Act, we can really slice the federal budget by a significant amount. It\u2019s not just the EPA. I mean, for crying out loud the government grants that go out to various scientists and departments from various branches of government, and then you get a report echoing what the government wants, or whoever issued the grant. Sometimes senators are in charge of authorizing these grants as part of legislation. Now, we\u2019ve had a lot of stories today and all week and we\u2019re going to have them throughout the weekend about the horrors awaiting innocent Iraqis as they risk their lives to vote in a meaningless, worthless election that should have been cancelled, quote-unquote.<\/line>END TRANSCRIPT<\/line><\/p>\n
