ACORN in the Cross Hairs
The Provocateur ^ | 09/15/2009 | Mike Volpe

The vote in the Senate to defund ACORN has taken this story in a new direction. This was an amendment first introduced yesterday by Nebraska Senator Mike Johannes. It was voted on last evening and voted favorably overwhelmingly 83-7. (Ironically, both my senators, Dick Durbin and Roland Burris, were in the minority) This still has to move through the House but the Senate is supposed to be the deliberative body. Yet, it moved from introduction to vote in less than twenty four hours.

ACORN has become the Sister Souljah of the next election for these phony democrat politicians.

I’m just hoping that they don’t turn around and have all of the funds re-directed to some new organization called OAKSEED.

“Mr. President, I want to echo the comments of good friend from New York and go on record against prostitution of underaged girls from El Salvador.” Uh, yeah. Most are going to want to dissociate themselves from this well before the elections of 2010.

Obama IS ACORN. ACORN is SEIU. The Democrat Party is ACORN.

Obama could not be any closer to ACORN. He is up to his neck in ACORN.

That’s not likely to happen. They would lose all sorts of funding and marketing if they did that. That’s what ACORN 8 wants to do only they want to then turn ACORN into a legit organization.

Congress must AUDIT ACORN first to locate all the subsidiary feeders related to it.

Just stopping Federal Funding won't do much. People have to be arrested and charged with fraud, etc. Otherwise, Soros and others in the Banking Cartel will just fund them.
