Subject: Welcome to the New McCarthyism

Dear friends,

I'm sharing with you a new ad The New McCarthyism
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gozlTOgosC8> from The Agenda Project
<http://agendaproject.org> that calls out the #NewMcCarthyism in Washington
and calls for an investigation into the Select Committee on Benghazi

The spectacles of both the Benghazi Committee and the Planned Parenthood
hearing are prime examples of the GOP abusing their power (and taxpayer
money) to try and take out their political opponents.  They are also scary
indicators of what's to come from the GOP if they are not stopped.  The GOP
will not stop at Cecile Richards and Hillary Clinton.

We just released The New McCarthyism
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gozlTOgosC8> earlier today and we already
have 30,000 hits on YouTube.  We are hard at work right now drilling down
on this issue to figure out what chapters 2 and 3 will be on the
#NewMcCarthyism.

Along those lines, *stay tuned* for another big item on this front to hit
on Wednesday morning.  Please watch this video, like it, share it and help
us continue to drive this very critical narrative.

Sincerely,

Amanda Crumley

Amanda,

Today, the Agenda Project Action Fund is calling for an investigation into
the Select Committee on Benghazi with the release of a new ad
<https://act.myngp.com/el/6498216421153376000/-3602300968198928640?v=gozlTOgosC8>
that
demands "an end to the new McCarthyism.”

Last week, Representative Kevin McCarthy publicly admitted on Fox News that
the Select Committee on Benghazi was conceived and executed solely to
damage former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's presidential
aspirations.

Just like Joseph McCarthy before him, Kevin McCarthy and his fellow
Republicans are using their constitutionally granted powers not to advance
the interests of the America people, but instead to try to destroy their
political enemies. It is now clear that the Benghazi committee is nothing
more than an multimillion dollar, taxpayer funded witch hunt.
Representative McCarthy and his conservative colleagues are embracing
tactics straight out of the ‘red scare’ era. These tactics are at best
unethical and at worst illegal.

The “Select Committee on Benghazi” has currently cost the United States
over 4.6 million dollars over the course of the past 500 days. A total that
does not include costs related to “the independent Accountability Review
Board; the eight previous reports by seven Congressional committees; the
time, money, and resources consumed by federal agencies to comply with
Select Committee requests; or the opportunity cost of not spending this
money elsewhere, like improving security for our diplomatic officers
abroad.”

Running for over 514 days, this “investigation” has now been going on for
longer than the federal investigations into Watergate, Pearl Harbor, the
Kennedy assassination, Iran-Contra and Hurricane Katrina.
