Wanting to have a government organization buy something like the Internet Archives sounds like a terrible idea for me. It's not like you'd keep lobbyists away from it.
A great alternative is to build the Internet Archive so that after something is there "for a while", it is archived in a way that anyone can efficiently distribute it (thinking about long-term resiliency) and even survive a conspiracy to destroy it.
