Political statement on federal websites violate the Hatch Act

With the shutdown, our federal government is violating the Hatch Act with its post on federal websites.

The Hatch Act restricts partisan political activities.

Their statements claiming “… due to the radical left shutdown … ” on many websites is a huge violation.

Publisher’s note: According to the U.S. Office of Special Counsel, “​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The Hatch Act, a federal law passed in 1939, limits certain political activities of federal employees, as well as some state, D.C., and local government employees who work in connection with federally funded programs. ​The law’s purposes are to ensure that federal programs are administered in a nonpartisan fashion, to protect federal employees from political coercion in the workplace, and to ensure that federal employees are advanced based on merit and not based on political affiliation.​​​​”
