If we all file FOIA requests we can ferret out this garbage. We surround them!

firegrants@dhs.gov

http://www.firegrantsupport.com/fps/award/08/

According to your FEMA website, your agency granted the "ACORN Institute" close to a million dollars in 2008 for "fire prevention."

The ACORN Institute New Orleans LA Fire Prevention $997,402.00 09/04/09

I am requesting copies of the grant proposal from ACORN and the signed approvals which are a matter a public record. I want to see the type of fire prevention activities that ACORN provides and understand the decision.

I also want information on the following questions

* Who signed the authorization? * Why does FEMA believe ACORN is qualified to perform such work for the government? * What work was performed with this money? * What types of similar grants are under consideration for 2009?

Thank you for your time.

Just a guess, but I’m thinking ObamACORN is probably being paid not to commit arson or incite others to do so, during the next New Orleans riots.

What could ACORN possibly do? Protest outside arsenists’ houses with Smokey the Bear?

FEMA handed over $1 million to the ACORN Institute

$1 million to NOT burn down a city??? I could do that for half the price.

$1 million buys a lot of voter registrations.

every other organization receiving “fire prevention” grants is a fire deparment or medical facility.

It is an excuse to give ACORN unaccountable money- slush funds- and to console ACORN for all the bad press they have gotten.
