Could this be true? Is ACORN really in line to get billions from the federal government?
ProPublica, the Left-wing independent news organization funded by the Sandler Foundation, (yes, Herb and Marion Sandler, the subprime mortgage billionaires) has the audacity to criticize the payday lending industry. Click here to read about the Sandlers and their connection to ACORN.
The guy who helped bust ACORN is in trouble:
Alleging a plot to tamper with phones in Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu’s office in the Hale Boggs Federal Building in downtown New Orleans, the FBI arrested four people Monday, including James O’Keefe, 25, a conservative filmmaker whose undercover videos at ACORN field offices severely damaged the advocacy group’s credibility.
When will people learn to quit while they’re ahead?
GAO to investigate the radical group’s use of federal funds, according to FoxNews.com.
From the American Spectator:
On Tuesday evening the House Appropriations Committee rejected on a party line vote of 9 to 5 an amendment offered by Rep. Tom Latham (R-Iowa) that would have blocked federal funding of the radical advocacy group.
The amendment was needed because the Obama administration thumbed its nose at a provision in spending legislation that banned ACORN funding until the end of next week.
Congress — and possibly Citigroup — may be gearing up to start funding the organized crime syndicate ACORN again. The current federal funding ban expires Dec. 18.
Dare to dream. Rep. Darrell Issa does.
By any other name, ACORN would smell just as corrupt.
The website “Big Government” slams the Attorney General for not investigating ACORN.
From the story:
ACORN isn’t going down without a fight. The group had no problems accepting money earmarked by Congress, but it has a big problem with Congress exercising its same power to take that money away. Thursday, ACORN filed a lawsuit saying Congress violated the Constitution when it voted to pull money from the organization.Attorneys for ACORN argue the law that pulled funding from ACORN’s education, housing and transportation programs amounts to a bill of attainder, basically an act that punishes a person or group without a trial. The constitutional provision against bills of attainder traditionally has been associated with death penalty cases and the seizure of private property.
