WASHINGTON ? The House voted Thursday to deny all federal funds for ACORN in a GOP-led strike against the scandal-tainted community organizing group that comes just three days after the Senate took similar action. "ACORN has violated serious federal laws, and today the House voted to ensure that taxpayer dollars would no longer be used to fund this corrupt organization," said second-ranked House Republican Eric Cantor of Virginia.

Nice performance by the House but ACORN has been violating laws - and being convicted of doing so - for years without a peep from the House. I suspect ACORN will find funding again someday in a much less public manner, after this incident has been forgotten by the media and the public. They have friends in high places.

Agreed, this will end up being all for show, the organizers of ACORN will just have a new front pulling the same stunts.

I had much higher hopes for that before I found out her old man is some sort of conservative Christian preacher.

Oh, wait a minute. That just means he will be her real-life pimp, doesn't it, Ted Haggard?

ACORN is apparently suing the filmmakers and BreitBart.com over this fiasco....

Meanwhile...

Darnell Nash who boasts he is the ?Queen of Cleveland Gender Benders? has been convicted of actual vote fraud?not merely voter registration fraud?and imprisoned for a six-month term.
Nash was registered to vote nine times by ACORN. The Cleveland prosecutor?s office said he hadn?t yet found evidence of criminal wrongdoing by ACORN but that doesn?t let ACORN off the hook: the investigation into ACORN remains open.

...same old ACORN. I wonder how many Darnell Nash's are out there that were not caught?

it is good to see that acorn is not getting federal funding. now, we just have to figure out where they will get the funding that will keep them doing business as usual. somehow, i dont think acorn is going away.

Government sued for defunding scandal-hit ACORN | U.S. | Reuters

The scandal-hit liberal grass-roots group ACORN sued the U.S. government on Thursday, saying it did not have the right to cut off ACORN's federal funding because the group had not been convicted of a crime. The U.S. Congress voted in September to cut off federal money to the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), after conservative activists secretly filmed employees in several cities giving tax and housing advice to a couple posing as a pimp and a prostitute.
"It's not the job of Congress to be the judge, jury, and executioner," said Jules Lobel, an attorney with the Center for Constitutional Rights, which brought the case in Brooklyn federal court.
"We have due process in this country, and our constitution forbids lawmakers from singling out a person or group for punishment without a fair investigation and trial," Lobel said.

due process, sure thats a con right. but, um im pretty sure you cant sue congress...


im not sure, ill have to check around but im pretty sure this should be 12b6ed....
