Check out this Daily Caller article:
“The Obama administration’s Department of Labor is running a social media campaign this week to encourage people to lobby Congress for a minimum wage increase – a move raising eyebrows because it is similar to the campaign messaging being used by Democrats to drive voters to the polls this year.”
The problem? They are using taxpayer dollars to promote what is essentially a campaign benefitting a political party, raising questions about whether it is appropriate or not.
For example: “The department is asking supporters of a minimum wage increase to tweet a graphic made by taxpayer-funded staffers at the Labor Department.”
Ryan Williams of Worker Center Watch said, “The Department’s audacious actions are even more troubling because it shows that DOL leadership has no qualms about lobbying for labors’ wish list in an election year…Union bosses have plenty of well-funded, front groups to push their job-killing policies, and taxpayers should not be forced to pay for a government sponsored effort to promote their destructive agenda.”
