Well I certainly hope McCain blasts it from the rooftops that the Paulson plan was going to give billions of dollars to ACORN!!!!!!!!!!!! Arggggh!!!!! I am furious over this! I want heads to roll!!!!!!!!!!!! This was nothing less than an attempted coup-de-tat.
I don’t think it was Paulson’s plan that had ACORN getting money. I think that came from Sen. Christopher Dodd (D CT), who was circulating a counterproposal.
I already wrote to both my senators appealing for them to offer amendments stripping any money for entities connected with ACORN, if that’s still in when it comes to the full Senate, and to filibuster the whole thing if the amendments don’t pass. Everyone else should do the same.
(No point writing to my Congresscritter, she’s a demonRAT.)
