As noted here yesterday, former National Endowment for the Arts director of communications Yosi Sergeant (who had been “reassigned” ever since his involvement in the NEA’s infamous conference call had become news) has resigned. Now someone needs to submit Freedom of Information (FOIA) requests for the applications that the NEA funded which were submitted by the arts organizations that have been promoting Obama’s health-care agenda. Any application that is submitted to the NEA and which the agency funds must be provided free of charge to any member of the public who requests it under FOIA. Requestors also should ask for “any other documents pertaining to the submission, review, and funding of the application.” Follow the money.
