"By a vote of 83-7, the Senate voted to cut off funding to ACORN from the Department of Transportation and Department of Housing and Urban Development appropriations bill. According to Fox News, your tax dollars have been very generous to ACORN.
ACORN Housing Corporation received $1.6 million to provide housing services to low-income communities in this fiscal year, ending Sept. 30, according to USASpending.gov, a federal government Web site for tracking government grants.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development Grants has given $8.2 million to ACORN in the years between 2003 and 2006, as well as $1.6 million to ACORN affiliates.
Now who were those seven senators who were apparently unfazed by ACORN's bland unconcern of providing mortgage money to a supposed prostitute and her pimp, even counseling them on evading taxes? (Nine senators did not vote.)
# Dick Durbin (D-IL)
# Roland Burris (D-IL)
# Robert Casey (D-PA)
# Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY)
# Patrick Leahy (D-VT)
# Bernie Sanders (I-VT)
# Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI)...
Campaign against these scum and Donate time and money to their opponents!

We expect Bernie Sanders, the Socialist to want to fund a group like ACORN.

Let Freedom Ring!!
posing as a pimp with a prostitute in tow and got some tax-evading advice from an ACORN staff member. In the video below, O'Keefe claimed he wanted to buy a house and was trying to figure out a way of accounting for his "ho's" income. The employee told the woman to list
her occupation as "performance artist."
OK. So, this is pretty hilarious, I admit. It's a flagrant foul from a low-level employee. The two black women who were targeted in this caught on tape "pimps and hos charade" mostly likely bring home less than $30,000 per year. And they are two employees out of 13,000 employed by ACORN. O'Keefe admittedly tried this maneuver several times before he found someone gullible enough to bite.
President Obama has very close relations with ACORN, and in his own words he says to judge him by who he keeps close. Obama has put some of the most radical people in his cabinet. And the Czars he has surrounded himself with are all most radical. Radical in that they have no intention of following the Constitution of the United States.
You need to look up who Sal Alinski is and then tell me that Hillary Clinton's praise of him when she was in college makes her simply liberal or is she also not a radical who cares nothing about our Constitution.
I say let's try to get these 7 out of office, as well as the 9 that chose not to vote on such an important issue.
How do you disprove a lie? Well, we added to our already extensive community outreach policies; and, we started a special program for first-time home buyers. I knew one mortgage originator who would use utility bill payments if there wasn't enough credit history. He would do everything possible to help buyers, just to see the ACORN accusations all over again in a matter of months.
This is NOT an organization that really cares about communities. It cares about money and power. I doubt they have decent criteria for hiring; and, I doubt they require employees sign an annual "Ethics Statement" like most bankers have to do. All of this is just the tip of the iceburg. With over 100 "affiliates" who will ever know the depth of the corruption?
Keep in mind, too, that one of the Radke brothers (the original founders) started the S.E.I.U., the fastest-growing union in the country. SEIU members, along with ACORN thugs, disrupted many townhall meetings in August.
