All I was trying to do was recommend efficacy. I don't think this is the best letter--I suggested Frank Pallone should send one to Fox. But it's not a waste, either, bc it lays groundwork for defunding things next year, which is the primary tool Congress has.

FWIW, @delauro.house.gov and @hoyer.house.gov did send a letter to Susie Wiles. I'd prefer if they send a criminal referral to the Fraud Task Force. www.appropriations.senate.gov/imo/media/do...
We write to demand that you immediately take this ad off the air and appropriately
reprimand and discipline the Federal employees who knowingly violated Federal law in working
on and paying for this advertisement. In addition, we demand a full account and breakdown of all
Federal funds used to create and air this ad.
As you are aware, this is not the first time this administration has violated antipropaganda law2
. It is unconscionable that repeated violations of appropriations law continue to
occur during this Administration, and those violations underscore the failure of the Office of
Management and Budget to safeguard taxpayer funding and to consistently and faithfully ensure
compliance with the law. No taxpayer funding should be used to air this outrageous propaganda.
