17 May 2013 12:01 am

The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), which represents nearly 30 Tea Party organizations nationwide, said the announcement by President Obama accepting the resignation of acting IRS Commissioner Steven Miller does not go far enough.

“President Obama continues to fail to show leadership as this IRS scandal continues to expand,” said Jay Sekulow, Chief Counsel of the ACLJ. “The resignation of acting IRS Commissioner Steven Miller does not solve any of the problems of this tainted and politically-driven agency. The announcement comes just hours after the IRS attempted to blame this abhorrent …

13 May 2013 12:01 am

The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), which represents nearly 30 Tea Party organizations nationwide against an assault by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), called today’s apology by the IRS a “significant victory for free speech and freedom of association.”

5 May 2013 12:01 am

According to the American Center of Law & Justice (ACLJ), and Jay Sekulow which is based in Washington, D.C., and focused on constitutional and human rights law worldwide, there are ominous signs the U.S. military is turning its back on religious freedom. On April 23, Pentagon leaders met with Mikey Weinstein, an anti-Christian extremist who decries “fundamentalist Christian monsters” and calls Christians “pitiable unconstitutional carpetbaggers.” He compares Christians to racists from the civil rights era.

If he said these things about Muslims, he’d never be permitted in the Pentagon; but now military leaders are …

9/11 Was An Inside Job, America Is To Blame For Terrorism – But Don’t Throw Any Basketballs
30 Apr 2013 12:01 am

Throwing basketballs is wrong and will get you fired – but blaming America for the Boston bombings is acceptable. That is what can be learned if one reviews recent behaviors.

Recently, Rutgers University hired a major PR Agency, Hill+Knowlton as the result of the release of a leaked video showing Rutgers’ basketball coach Mike Rice shoving, kicking, and berating his players with inappropriate slurs. Rice was fired as New Jersey’s Governor called the coach an “animal” as he criticized the university’s handling of evidence of the coach’s problems dating back way …

Defying the Constitution, the IRS has informed its agents that they can read taxpayer emails without a warrant, opening up your private life to the prying eyes of the IRS, an agency with …

5WPR CEO Says Obama Cares About PR – But Not The Truth
25 Apr 2013 12:01 am

No matter where one stands on Obama’s politics, there is no doubt he is charismatic and spends a lot of time working to spin the media.

As CEO of 5WPR, in my industry Obama seems to be spending a lot of money – naturally he is spending money to spin Americans. Millions of dollars have been spent relatively quietly on PR:
n Obama’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) recently announced an $8 Million dollar contract with a leading PR firm, Weber Shandwick to promote the “Affordable Care Act”, a.k.a. Obamacare. …

The Politics of Charitable Donations
17 Apr 2013 12:01 am

Americans tend to give charitable gifts to causes that share their political values. So says a 2012 collaborative study from Penn State, Rice University and the University of Texas at San Antonio. At a time when the American political scene is deeply divided, the aim of the study was to examine how this stratification affects charitable giving. “The political divide not only impacts political actions, but everyday actions such as donating to charity,” said Vikas Mittal, co-author of the study and a professor at Rice University. “When you ask people …

Working with Members of Congress, we intend to file a critical brief defending the National Motto and the right …

MSNBC is the Most Biased Cable News Network
2 Apr 2013 12:01 am

Whereas the liberal news media takes pride in blasting the so-called “right-wingers”, the recently released “The State of the News Media 2013” by the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism offered interesting tidbits.
Interesting observations for this PR agency owner:

Liberal-network MSNBC is the most opiniated cable network – with 85% of the network’s coverage defined as “opinion or commentary rather than straight news”. Fox News Channel was closer to a 50/50 distribution.
MSNBC spends $240 million producing its news – Fox News spends $820 million according to SNL Kagan.

9 Feb 2013 12:01 am

It is a significant story. One that certainly has national security implications. There’s new fallout from intelligence leaks that occurred last summer – the unauthorized release of sensitive information from what is likely to be the highest level of our government.
There are reports now that the FBI and the Department of Justice are looking into the leak of President Obama’s order launching cyber attacks on the Iranian nuclear program which used a computer virus developed by Israel. By all accounts, the cyber attacks were successful. But the leaking of the …
