I’m looking for information regarding the Acorn financing boondoggle, but see no reference to it...
I’m praying they got it dumped from this bill.
ditto on ACORN
acorn was probably added so that republicans would be so willing to accept all kinds of other junk just to get ACORN dropped
I’m praying they got it dumped from this bill.
That was my first thought upon seeing this. They'd better have scuttled that and the La Raza cr@p.
Both are anti-American institutions have no business being in any taxpayer-funded bill, let alone this bill.
Some details to work out, but I'm told there is a deal in the works, minus ACORN.

ACORN is a red herring.
I want the whole nightmare filibustered.
The Washington Post reports ACORN’s out:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/09/28/AR2008092800064_2.html
“Democrats also made a number of concessions, abandoning demands that bankruptcy judges be empowered to modify home mortgages on primary residences for people in foreclosure. They also agreed not to dedicate a portion of any profits from the bailout program to an affordable housing fund that Republicans claimed would primarily assist social service organizations that support the Democratic Party, the official said. “
It didn't according to this Reuter's article.
The following bulleted item from the article is a direct quote:
"Would direct 20 percent of any future profits from the bailout fund to the Affordable Housing Fund and the Capital Magnet Fund to meet U.S. housing needs. House Republicans, however, have made clear they oppose this provision."
That is ACORN!
Does this mean that the people that failed to pay thier mortgage get a free house?
