'ILLEGAL SECRECY' SHIELDS OBAMACARE WORKERS
World Net Daily ^ | April 23, 2014

... Judicial Watch is seeking records related to contracts awarded to the groups and records regarding the federal requirements for the navigators, including background checks and qualifications.

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said the Obamacare navigator program “seems as corrupt as any Chicago patronage operation – and is a danger to the privacy of millions of Americans who are participating in Obamacare.”

“The use of Obamacare navigators and the Healthcare.gov website should come with consumer warnings,” Fitton said. “The Obama administration’s illegal secrecy about these Obamacare navigators should make Americans very nervous.”

National Review Online has reported that among the groups to whom federal tax money is being delivered is Local 100 United Labor Unions, which Judicial Watch said is a New Orleans group run by ACORN founder Wade Rathke.

Local 100 is a “sub-grantee” providing navigators for the Southern United Neighborhoods group, which received a $600,678 grant to promote Obamacare enrollment, National Review said. The union also received a $270,193 grant for similar work in Arkansas and a $486,123 grant for Louisiana.

Also included in the drop locations for federal money was the National Urban League, which was paid $376,000 for its Obamacare outreach in Texas, and “leftwing groups” such as Planned Parenthood and the Virginia Poverty Law Center Inc., the watchdog organization reported.

This is what happens when we don't jail these people. They just keep coming back with new life. When people working for places like ACORN get caught doing illegal things, they need to be jailed, then blacklisted from any more government contracts. We need to start getting tough with the lawbreakers.

The IRS is another example. They were allowed to get away with illegally targeting only conservative groups, and recently they rewrote their regs so what they're doing is now "legal." The blame for both examples lay squarely at the feet of John Boehner.

Exactly why one shouldn’t go within 50 ft. of that website unless there’s no other way.
