Fight Back! -- Obama Spends $200 Million On Stimulus Signs -- See A Sign, Take A Picture, Send It In!

$192 million for stimulus signs.

Video:  Be a Citizen Watchdog

---

Darrell Issa has put together the following website:

(CNSNews.com) – Republicans on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee – led by Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) are turning to the public in their effort to find out just how many promotional signs were erected using stimulus dollars.

Known as crowd-sourcing, the effort asks the public to take pictures of promotional signs erected along roadways and at other stimulus-funded projects and submit them to the Republican committee staff.

The effort asks people to “be a citizen watchdog” and to help Republicans document what they call “propaganda signs.”

“This project harnesses the American public’s help in getting answers about why the Administration has insisted on wasting potentially $192 million taxpayer dollars on pro-stimulus advertising even as the spending splurge has failed to meet the President’s own sales pitches,” the Committee’s Republican website says.

Not to split hairs, but where do you come up with $200MM (or $192MM) for signs? There are 2 mentions of $20MM in the video, but I didn't hear $200MM.

Then again, what's $180MM these days when GS gets $13B in AIG's backdoor bailout alone?

Wear your favorite jersey NFL teams play has become almost mandatory. If you do not, it’s a great way to enter into the spirit of the game jerseys Dallas Cowboys turn around and you would be hard to go to a store without seeing at least a dozen people were 1. Dallas Cowboys jerseys come in many different sizes and there are even those that are designed specifically for women and children today. The whole family can go to the next game or watching TV with friends, dressed in the colors of blue and white famous.Wellcome:
