House Votes to Defund ACORN

Thursday, September 17, 2009 3:10 PM

   
AP WASHINGTON -- The House has voted to deny all federal funding for ACORN, the community organizing group that has been caught up in several scandals.

The House action came several days after the Senate took a similar vote to block the Housing and Urban Development Department from giving grants to ACORN.

Republicans, long critics of the liberal-leaning group that advocates for the poor, led the effort to cut off all federal funds.

California Republican Darrell Issa, who sponsored the measure in the House, says the "scandal surrounding the criminal activities of ACORN have called into question their role in all aspects of government."

The vote, on a provision attached to a student aid bill, was 345-75. All 75 no votes were Democrats.




Interesting how Democrats are sticking with this criminal enterprise!   Had it been one incident that could be chalked up to a few bad seeds.  Two times then it starts to show a trend.  But FOUR (or is it five) times and that is clearly evidence of widespread corrupt activities, and for Dems to still pledge thir allegiance to this organization speaks volumes.
