Call U.S. Senator Feingold on illegal lobbying by the U.S. Dept. of Justice

.gov Watch blog alerts us to an illegal operation presently taking place at the U.S. Department of Justice. In violation of U.S. Code Title 18 Section 1913, the Executive branch department is using Congressionally-appropriated money to lobby Congress on a bill.

Titled "LifeandLiberty.gov", USDOJ asks our legislators to pass the Protect America Act. This Congress-subsidized lobbying effort is apparently illegal, from the justice department no less.

Thanks goes to .gov Watch for the alert; they recommend we call Senator Russ Feingold at (202) 224-5323 and let him (his staff) know about the illegal lobbying effort of LifeandLiberty.gov by the U.S. Dept. of Justice.
