ObamaCare’s Taxpayer Financed Publicity
The Obama Administration Is Spending $20 Million Dollars On A Washington PR Campaign And Sticking Taxpayers With The Tab
SEN. MITCH McCONNELL: “Let me suggest that the President spend a little more time trying to do something about the spending, debt, and gas prices, and a little less time trying to spin the unpopular things he’s already done—it might require a little more work, but it’s what we need .” (Sen. Mitch McConnell, 5/22/12)
$20 Million ‘National Multimedia Education Campaign’
“The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has selected Porter Novelli to launch a national multimedia education campaign mandated by the Affordable Care Act. The contract is worth $20 million.” (“Porter Picked By HHS To Conduct $20m Campaign,” PR Week, 5/18/12)“The effort will use media outreach and social media as well as TV, print, radio, and online advertising.” (“Porter Picked By HHS To Conduct $20m Campaign,” PR Week, 5/18/12)
72% Think ObamaCare Will Make Things Worse Or Won’t Help
“Americans are less optimistic that the law will improve their family's healthcare situation in the long run, however. Thirty-eight percent expect the law to make their situation worse, compared with 24% who say better.” (USA Today / Gallup Poll, 2/20-21/12)
“Now suppose all of the provisions of the healthcare law go into effect in the next few years. In the long run, how do you think the healthcare law would affect your family’s healthcare situation? All Americans: Make better: 24%; Not much difference: 34%; Make worse: 38%.” (USA Today / Gallup Poll, 2/20-21/12)
“…an estimated $1,908,960 has been spent under the healthcare.gov contract. As such, an estimated $2,089,968 currently remains. Following is a breakdown of the online ads that we've purchased each month from October 2010 through February 2011. As you can see, this accounts for $1,435,009 of the monies spent...” (Ogilvy’s Margo Gillman, Email To HHS’s Julia Eisman, 2/10/11)
HHS OFFICIAL: “My gut is that the ones we'd really want to push for would be the evergreen radio PSAs and the videos, potentially one big guerilla campaign splash in a targeted area.” (HHS’s Jaime Mulligan, Email To HHS Employees, 12/1/10)
$3.66 Million Spent On Misleading Medicare Ads
“The Andy Griffith ad promoting ObamaCare last year cost taxpayers $3.66 million – including $404,000 in production – according to records obtained from HHS in a FOIA request earlier this year.” (“Crossroads GPS Launches Collaborative FOIA Site,” Politico, 3/23/11)FACT CHECK: “…the truth is, for millions of seniors, benefits won’t remain the same. As we wrote most recently last December, about 10 million Medicare Advantage recipients could see their extra benefits reduced by an average of $43 per month, according to the Congressional Budget Office.” (“Mayberry Misleads On Medicare,” FactCheck.org, 7/31/10)
FACT CHECK: “Currently, about 1 in every 4 Medicare beneficiary is enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan. For many of them, the words in this ad ring hollow, and the promise that ‘benefits will remain the same’ is just as fictional as the town of Mayberry was when Griffith played the local sheriff.” (“Mayberry Misleads On Medicare,” FactCheck.org, 7/31/10)

Rubio, Menendez, Ros-Lehtinen Blast Visa Award for Raul Castro’s Daughter
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) called the decision “outrageous and an enormous mistake,” while Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) said the move “sends the wrong message to the [Cuban] regime and to Cuba’s struggling opposition movement.”
Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL), who was born in Havana and now chairs the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said the decision is “beyond comprehension.”
As Scribe reported on Tuesday, Castro Espin is scheduled to speak at a San Francisco conference held by the Latin American Studies Association. State would not discuss the visa application, but a LASA spokesman confirmed that she would be at the conference in person, and hence would need a visa to enter the country.
But per Presidential Proclamation 5377, issued by President Ronald Reagan in 1985, agents of the Cuban dictatorship are prohibitied from obtaining U.S. visas expcept in very specific circumstances – Castro Espin’s scheduled visit would not be covered – or where State specifically grants an exemption. For Castro Espin to enter the country, then, State would have to waive that proclamation’s prohibitions.
Castro Espin is the director of Cuba’s state-funded National Center for Sex Education, a division of the Ministry of Public Health. She has also been a vociferous critic of the Cuban dissident movement.
Rubio called Castro Espin “an arm of [Castro's] regime” who “is coming to the United States to spread their anti-American propaganda. It is shameful that they would grant that visa.”
Ros-Lehtinen noted that the decision may also violate a “long-standing agreement” between Congress and the federal government. According to her news release, State agreed to share information with her committee on the travel of Cuban government officials. It offered no such information on Castro Espin’s visa application.
While he singled out State, Menendez also extended his criticism to LASA itself. “Neither the United States Government nor the Latin American Studies Association should be in the business of providing a totalitarian regime, like the one in Cuba, with a platform from which to espouse its twisted rhetoric,” Menendez stated.
The Heritage Foundation will work to highlight the Cuban regime’s continued repression of political dissidents and lack of respect for basic human rights at a Friday event honoring the fifth annual Solidarity Day with Cuba.

Mitt Romney Endorses Connie Mack For U.S. Senate
 |
| Connie Mack |
H/T Daily Caller - Mack has emerged as the conservative favorite, having been endorsed by Sen. Rand Paul, Rep. Michelle Bachman and the American Conservative Union. Writing in the Wall Street Journal recently, FreedomWorks’ Dick Armey and Matt Kibbe observed: “Building on the historic successes of 2010, we have an opportunity to take control of the Senate and dramatically increase the ranks of entrepreneurial fiscal conservatives, creating a dynamic new majority within the majority … It means winning races in key battlegrounds like Florida, where Rep. Connie Mack is emerging as the most able fiscal conservative…”

Rep. Alan Grayson (FL-9)
The US Chamber of Commerce is running a series of ads calling attention to actual votes and positions of virious elections officials. One ad being released addresses U.S. Representative Alan Grayson, D-FL-9, who not only supported the passage of ObamaCare but was one of it's biggest cheerleaders. he would say anything -- "Die Quickly . . . the Republicans want you to Die Quickly!" No we find that under Obamacare, 20 million people could loose their current coverage. A Florida judge rulled parts of ObamaCare unconstitutional.
Will Alan Grason change his tune on Obamacare or will it be the same broken record? Tell Grayson to support the repeal of Obamacare.
His constituents of his district should retire Alan Grayson. It was not the Republicans but in truth,it is Rep. Alan Grayson who expects Florida seniors to "Die Quickly." He was an advocate of ObamaCare formulated behind closed doors and noone outside this closed group was allowed to read the bill. Then Speaker Nancy Pelois said that the people's representative needed to vote on the bill so they could then read the bill. And supporting the then Speaker of Lies was none other than Alan Grayson. He should be held to account in the 2012 elections.

Tell Sen. Bill Nelson to Support the Repeal of Obamacare
A Quinnipiac poll last week found that by a 51-38 percent margin, Florida voters
want the Supreme Court to overturn the health care law.
Below is a US Chamber of Commerce ad addressing Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL) casting the deciding vote for Obamacare or as some knoow it in Florida NelsonCare. Regardless of what Nelson said to justify his vote, 20 million people could lose their coverage. Seniors will now see $500 Billion in medicare cuts. Editors Note: Bill Nelson may have once been a great astronaut but now his ideas and mind is "lost in space" and hurting both Floridians and all otherr Americans. Some may laughingly call ObamaCare, NelsonCare. But the fact is Nelson did not care! Time to retire and bring Bill Nelson to experience his senior care.
