Finally, the United States Senate voted to stop your tax dollars being used by the corrupt ACORN organization.
"The Senate voted on Monday to forbid Acorn, the antipoverty group frequently criticized by conservatives, from receiving federal housing grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The vote is the latest jolt of bad news for the group, formally known as the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. The Census Bureau told Acorn last week that it no longer wanted the groups assistance for the 2010 census, while a hidden camera recently caught Acorn employees giving tax advice to people who said they wanted to run a brothel.
The provision, which passed 83-7, was introduced as an amendment to a housing and transportation spending bill by Senator Mike Johanns, Republican of Nebraska, who said on the Senate floor that Acorn had received $53 million in federal funds since 1994."
Just last week ACORN asked for $6 million more of our money, at the same time 11 of their people were indicted in Miami for voter fraud, and three ACORN offices were telling a pimp and prostitute how to cheat the IRS and steal mortgage money.
Now will the Attorney General close down this criminal conspiracy? Will the IRS finally take away the tax exemption of this criminal group?
Only seven Democrats were willing to keep the fraud going. Shame on them.
