A 39-year-old Los Angeles film producer is accusing the National Endowment for the Arts of initiating a "call to action" to artists to support President Obama's domestic agenda.

You can go down the list of things going on here:
-- Government takeover of private industry
-- children being used to complete a census
-- Penalties should you not choose to accept a vaccine that has not been through thorough clinical trials
-- 32 unvetted czars in the government with no oversite, congressional review, black budgets
-- Pushing for socialized medicine
-- deep connections with groups such as ACORN, the Appolo Alliance and other radical groups
-- government beginning to "profile" reporters
-- government ability to commandeer the private internet
