Subject: Taxpayers Fund Job Bank for Dem, Clinton Groups

Taxpayers are funding a website where federal employees can find work electing Democratic candidates and organizing advocacy campaigns in support of left-wing legislation, a review of the website reveals.

Employers currently listing jobs on the site include a Democratic campaign vendor, groups that have financed the cycle’s largest pro-Hillary Clinton Super PAC, activist organizations lobbying Congress for environmental regulations, and an arm of the Clinton family’s network of charitable groups.

The site is hosted, maintained, and promoted by the Peace Corps, and offers job opportunities for volunteers returning from postings overseas. Its guidelines explicitly prohibit political job listings, but that rule does not appear to have been enforced with much vigor.

“Run a Campaign Office for the 2016 Elections!” bills the headline of one job listing on the Returned Peace Corps Volunteer (RPCV) Career Link website.

That listing advertises a canvass director position with Work for Progress, a campaign vendor that has worked on clients’ behalves to elect Democratic candidates at the state and federal levels.

“Canvass directors will help us elect candidates who will fight to reverse global warming, get big money out of politics and help young people deal with the rising cost of college and student debt,” the job listing says.
