My favorite part was when a govenor of New York or somewhere around there declared that he wasn't giving another dime to Acorn....only for everyone to later find he never gave one in the first place.
What did Acorn do wrong? They helped poor people get registered to vote. And poor people usually don't vote for Republicans.
If ACORN gets defunded, what other government contractors will also be defunded?

These are the contractors that will lose funding if ACORN is defunded.
The government awards contracts to companies with histories of misconduct such as contract fraud and environmental, ethics, and labor violations. In the absence of a centralized federal database listing instances of misconduct, the Project On Government Oversight (POGO) is providing such data. We believe that it will lead to improved contracting decisions and public access to information about how the government spends hundreds of billions of taxpayer money each year on goods and services.

What did Acorn do wrong? They helped poor people get registered to vote. And poor people usually don't vote for Republicans.
And the American Citizen is stupid enough to believe it...
Sorry. Hehehe.
Let's allow Fox News to manufacture conspiracies and stir up ignorant racists to the point of violence instead of actually REPORTING the news and discussing IMPORTANT issues.
Way to be.
It's not a contractor, it's just a general statement.
