From Michelle Malkin:
"The Johanns Amendment is #2355 to H.R. 3288.
Johanns cited the BigGovernment.com sting videos as evidence that ACORN cannot be trusted with government money:
Until a full investigation is launched into ACORN, no taxpayer money should be used to fund its activities. A vote in favor of my amendment is a vote in favor of the taxpayer and a vote against the status quo."
"Several Democrats have voted AYE, including Cardin, Carper, Inouye, Johnson (SD), Murray, Tester, Warner, Bingaman, Begich, Nelson (NE), Webb, Landrieu, Bayh, Conrad, Rockefeller, Dodd, Pryor, Hagan, Kohl, Feingold, Boxer, Nelson (FL), Brown, Harkin, Lincoln, Wyden, Baucus, Klobuchar, Kaufman, Shaheen, Lautenberg (switched from no to yes), Menendez, Stabenow, Leiberman, Levin, McCaskill."
"Pimp and Trade" saves the day!!
Vote just completed at apprx. 6pm est.
See how fast it gets to the House. CBC has Pelosi by the nuts.
Wow!

Sometimes, ‘voting without reading’ works against the DimBulbs....
Huh? Well, it's funny anyway!
We have to be cautious, though... ACORN changed their name because of the pressure Beck brought on them...
YES!!!!!!
It should be called the Giles/O’Keefe amendment after our two intrepid heroes. They’ve done what no one could do (or would do) by taking this sham of an organization on and exposing them for the scum they are.
These Dems saw the future...a string of FOX exposees on ACORN.
Next thing you know people would be making the connection between ACORN and Dear Leader.
Can't have that. Better to dance to FOX's tune sooner rather than later these days.
I don’t watch Beck but I hear he’s saying they got much worse on video about Acorn for release tomorrow...I wonder if all these Dems are getting on the right side of this before new tape comes out?
Just a theory
Good news, thanks for the post!
I’m more interested in knowing who the 7 are...
Can’t wait to see what idiots voted no on this.
Yeah, no doubt. ACORN doesn’t exist any more, so this is just a typical political pirouette.
The amendment passes in the Senate, but where does it go in the House? Pelosi is being checked constantly by the Congressional Black Caucus, who will object to the amendment being allowed a vote.
Who exposed ACORN...they are heros!
I’m hoping they took that into consideration - hoping they are aware that ACORN is now COI [Community Organizers International] and worded the amendment accordingly.
Giles, O’Keefe, Breitbart and Beck are touching off a civil war among the upper echelon of the far left.
hmmmm...
ACORN has already changed it’s name from what I understand. Liberal think everyone else is stupid and that’s all it takes to solve the problem. We need to wait to see what “new” organization emerges and who is staffing it. I’m willing to bet a sizeable amount of money that it’ll all be the same.
The ammendement is posted on BigGovernment.com today.
