Oh, man. How dumb can the Democrats get? This is what nearly sunk the TARP plan. Get those fingers warmed up for dialing the 202 area code numbers.
ACORN is to America what the Brownshirts were to Germany.
It is the beginning of the end. Slowly but surely the noose is getting tightened.
The House Democrats’ trillion dollar spending bill, approved on January 21 by the Appropriations Committee and headed to the House floor next week for a vote, could open billions of taxpayer dollars to left-wing groups like the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN). ACORN has been accused of perpetrating voter registration fraud numerous times in the last several elections; is reportedly under federal investigation; and played a key role in the irresponsible schemes that caused a financial meltdown that has cost American taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars since last fall.
House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) and other Republicans are asking a simple question: what does this have to do with job creation? Are Congressional Democrats really going to borrow money from our children and grandchildren to give handouts to ACORN in the name of economic “stimulus?”
Incredibly, the Democrats’ bill makes groups like ACORN eligible for a $4.19 billion pot of money for “neighborhood stabilization activities.” Funds for this purpose were authorized in the Housing and Economic Recovery Act, signed into law in 2008. However, these funds were limited to state and local governments. Now House Democrats are taking the unprecedented step of making ACORN and other groups eligible for these funds:
Haven’t heard much about ACORN lately. Are the voter fraud investigations still ongoing, or have Barry and his minions killed them?
This is an outrage. How is this different than having “lobbiests” in your pocket?
..unless the public is aware, and the MSM will be busy making sure their not since they are accomplices in the fraud that this election has been, buying the American Presidency and changing it's values and history and way of life will become the norm. The voting laws,like many that the liberal socialist agenda find "obstruction" will just be overrode with the complacency. CALL, WRITE, EMAIL, YOUR REPRESENTITIVES TODAY, TO VOICE YOUR CONCERN ABOUT VOTER FRAUD AND REWARDING ILLEGAL BEHAVOIR!

He does have to get reelected. And he needs somebody to PAY so he can PLAY. Those financial gurus are in dire straights and some people are going to watch carefully where they send their campaign donations.... spread the wealth ..’you know’.
Acorn just might get a lot but no way will it get billions... That would be truly Hitlerian where 0 hires and pays his own troops of ideologues,enforcers and block committee spies and tattle tales
0 would love to do it but doesn’t have the cojones
Reward money.
Just like some other bailouts, reward money for being part of the master plan.
21st century pillage.
ACORN receives federal funds. La Raza receives federal funds, and I’m sure many more leftists interest groups, though they probably explain their official purpose as something very different, such as the ‘non-partisan’ voter registration drives conducted by ACORN.
I’ve often wondered if there are any conservative interest groups receiving federal funds?

here is my message to the GOP senators ...
Republicans need to FILIBUSTER the big-Government boondoggle monstrosity the Democrats and Obama are planning. Any Republican who looks at this is appalled: - billions in wasteful Government spending that has nothing to do with growing the economy but is 100% about growing the Government at the expense of our fiscal security and private economy. Billions in giveaways for pet liberal projects that don’t work and for leftwing special interests and corrupt payoffs for contributors and supporters.
Without a principled conservative opposition to the already excessive liberalism of Obama and the Democrats, the Republicans will have no credibility in 2010. Now is the time to take a stand and filibuster this bad bill.
There are specific demands that must be made:
#1 - filibuster against any spending that occurs after this fiscal year, and insist spending be done later in appropriations for next year; 100% of spending should be focussed SOLELY on this year and out-year spending should be in followup appropriations as conditions warrant. Why tie the USA to trillion dollar debt now for spending that will occur well after the recession is over?
#2 - no spending unless all tax laws are extended until 2013; in short, by raising taxes in 2010, the Democrats are cutting the economy off at the knees; they are killing, not stimulating, the economy; filibuster any bill that does not include delaying the increase in taxes.
#3 - No money for ACORN, for Planned Parenthood, for general pet projects that simply add to Government spending; filibuster any bill that has offensive, wasteful, non-stimulus spending; filibuster any bill that has pork and earmarks.
#4 - Filibuster any bill that is not at least 50% tax rate reductions, ie, real tax cuts; only tax rate reductions and/or direct tax cuts, such as allowing 100% expensing in 2009 of depreciable expenses, would incentivize the private sector.
Obama and the Democrats are perpetrating a hoax on the American people with their bad bill, and I am counting on The GOP Senators to lead the fight to expose it.
I am sick to my stomach about this entire adminstration. This country is going down the toilet. What the heck can we do about it???
Tell Congress and Obama that we don't want this.
