Washington, DC Stimulus Funds 99th Congressional District, La Raza, AARP

The Obama Administration spent $18M, yes that is $18 Million, for a website dedicated to stimulus accountability. We would say they have failed miserably.

The fact they are funding jobs in 440 Congressional Districts that don't exist should raise a Red Flag. Who is getting the money? Obama big donors? Also the stimulus is funding liberal organizations like La Raza and AARP arms of the DNC who worked to elect Obama. Is this why an Obama friend was named head of AARP? Why are these organizations still non-profit especially AARP after endorsing legislation that they are forbidden to do by law. Never mind, they support a Democrat so it is okay. (sarcasm)

Washington, DC Stimulus Funds 99th Congressional District, La Raza, AARP
November 17, 2009

Washington, DC has no congressional representation. If it was sliced into 99 parcels, there would be a congressional district every two-thirds of a square mile.
This is one of many mistakes and red flags that have been raised on Recovery.gov, the federal government’s $18 million attempt at stimulus accountability. The site already lists $6.4 billion in stimulus money distributed to 440 congressional districts that don’t exist.

Some of the spending in Washington goes not to shovel-ready construction projects, but liberal advocacy groups. The National Council of La Raza, a Latino immigrants-rights group whose name literally means “the race,” is allotted $156,620 in stimulus funds. Many conservatives have accused La Raza of practicing racial politics and supporting illegal immigration. The League of United Latino American Citizens, another Hispanics’ rights group, received $104,478.

The largest interest group payment was won by the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) to the tune of $18 million. Under the new leadership of its CEO Barry Rand, who has ties to Obama, the AARP surprised many and endorsed the Democrats’ health care plan. The group has since faced a backlash, with many seniors tearing up their membership cards and leaving the organization outright.

The National Council on the Aging, another seniors’ advocacy group that strongly supports the health care overhaul, netted $2.6 million.
