I agree. It is not going to do much good as a press release on his website, he needs to get out to the media and let everyone know what's going on. He is preaching to the choir here.

Has anyone sent this to Drudge. Maybe a blogger can write an article about this along with all of the legal trouble ACORN has been in over the past couple of years and then send that to Drudge as well???

At the press conference a few minutes ago- Boehner sounded strong and Eric Cantor was articulate and he NAILED the labor proxy access earmarks etc. It was terrific- they were a united front.

What does this mean? The Wall Street Journal breaks it down in an editorial published today:

What we have here essentially are a pair of government slush funds created in July as part of the Economic Recovery Act that pump tax dollars into the coffers of low-income housing advocacy groups, such as Acorn.”

“Acorn, one of America’s most militant left-wing ‘community activist groups,’ is spending $16 million this year to register Democrats to vote in November. In the past several years, Acorn’s voter registration programs have come under investigation in Ohio, Colorado, Michigan, Missouri and Washington, while several of their employees have been convicted of voter fraud…”

Boehner goes on to say:

That’s right. Rather than returning any profits made in the long-term from the economic rescue package, Democrats want to first reward their radical allies at ACORN for their help – often illegal help – in getting Democrats elected to office. Families, seniors, small businesses, and all American taxpayers deserve better than what Democratic leaders are attempting to jam down their throats.

The rescue package should not become a “Christmas tree” for the Democratic Majority’s far-left wing political agenda that seeks to shower taxpayer dollars upon groups like ACORN. On behalf of beleaguered taxpayers across the nation, House Republicans will continue to fight to remove the ACORN payback and any other Democratic poison pills from the economic rescue package.
