Any Minute Congress Could Re-Fund ACORN
Publius Forum ^ | 10/29/09 | Warner Todd Huston

Posted on 10/29/2009 9:37:54 AM PDT by Mobile Vulgus

Earlier I noted that we need your voice to keep the pressure on our representatives to keep government funds out of the hands of the criminal organization ACORN. Today Byron York posted another reminder of this salient fact in his headlined, "Will Congress' Defunding of ACORN Expire Saturday?"

York concludes that it is unlikely that ACORN funding will be restored on Saturday, but the simple fact of the matter is that it could be. Either this Saturday or during the very next budgeting process, ACORN funding can be easily slipped right back into a budget any time Congress feels like it's safe to do so.

You see, Congress works by writing continuing budget resolutions -- or CRs -- several times a year. These CRs delineate Congress' budget and can be added to or subtracted from at each and every session. Currently the defunding of ACORN is an idea whose time has come. But there can easily come a day when Democrats think no one is watching any longer and slip the ACORN funding right back in to any future CR.

The Dems NEED Acorn in order to win future elections. Just ask Al Franken (Mr. magic number 60).

The Dems will do all they can to keep their henchmen (Acorn) to continue their dirty business of fraud.

If they DO refund ACORN, how will we know?
They WILL be sneaky and secretive about it and the media DAMNED SURE won’t let us know!

The spending bill WON’T be available on the internet and IF it is available and shows the refunding of ACORN, Obama will LIE (because Joe Wilson was right, he DOES LIE) and say the one on the internet is fake.

Then, months down the road, when the ugly truth is FINALLY verifiable, Obama will say that he only found out about it after he read it in the papers.

All I can say to any one person when they feel they are totally powerless lately is this, support your servicemen in any way possible.

Obama fears Palin and the military, I cannot honestly say which more so.

So we should support at least one.

I heard today on the radio that ACORN COI has hundreds of branches under different names.
