I am SO proud and happy I made the decision to leave Chicago/Illinois for Alabama six months ago...........
Go Shelby! Go Beck!
I’m sick of these politicians jumping on the bandwagon after the people have to build the bandwagon. They are all spineless jelly.
I hear you, Hattie, but we need them to act. Otherwise nothing happens. Charlie Gibson of abc actually said, he hasn’t reported on the ACORN stories because he hasn’t heard about them.
Thanks for the heads up :)
If the MSM had vetted 0bama and not covered for him, we would not be in this mess.
Too late; they already changed their name:
In fact, the process has already begun, she noted. Wade Rathke, who founded the organization, announced on his blog that ACORN International has officially changed its name to “Community Organizations International.”

If we know, then he knows too.
Makes me wonder why he and other Congressionals keep referring to ACORN, without acknowledging the multitude of front groups that are tentacles of the ACORN Octopus on steroids, as well the name change to COI Community Organizers International.
That organization is like a killer virus we have all read about that keeps altering itself.
We’ve got two GREAT Senators, Richard Shelby and Jeff Sessions.
Yes, you do. I, on the other hand......Boxer and Feinstein.
Wow, I’m so sorry for your state’s choice. Maybe ya’ll can work on that this next election. Good luck!
Kinda wonder if they think this could lead back to President Obama...in a real BAD way.
Thus they vote in mass to defund ACORN...and sweep it under the rug quickly.
Shelby needs to make sure any investigation of ACORN includes associated and successor organizations.
as much as i’d like to see them caught with their hand in the cookie jar- Sanders is a nut. Burris is voting OBozos vote. Thats not the list we’d like to catch accepting graft.
Sorry, but there has to be a reason for their “no” votes and I’d like to know what it is.
It’s political suicide in today’s current climate to have voted the way that they did.
Glenn Beck is exposing ACORN and perhaps the answer will be found.
There will be no legitimate investigation - WHILE THE CURRENT PARTY IS IN POWER.
But, in pulling funding, their access to the census, etc,
we can perhaps keep the next two elections from being stolen, and THEN perhaps, do a real investigation.
I'd relax on that a little bit. Republicans (some) have been trying to fight ACORN since at least the last election and haven't been able to get any traction at all.
They asked for ACORN to have its funding removed last March and were voted down and a committee (House Oversight and something-Issa's committee) released a report in July about ACORNs criminal activity.
WHERE ARE THE OTHER 98 SENATORS?
Do they do anything other than spend money and go on taxpayer paid vacations???
Texas and now your state are starting to look pretty darn good to me.
