Hubby and I were discussing that very thing. Let’s watch very carefully when they annouce who will be doing the census now.
This is not the time to sit back and think we have them on the run. Now is the time to push even harder on DC and make them aware they work for US!

The Obamacorns must be in a total PANIC. Glen Beck has singlehandedly taken them down. I think Beck is turning in to a real LEADER. Tonite on his show he had a spot about rebuilding the World Trade Center. HOT DAMN! He is the ONLY investigative journalist in America. He says he is not but he is doing the leg work. GOOD ON HIM!

Should be all funds, directly or indirectly, to or for ACORN, or any subsidiaries, affiliates or parties related by common directorship (any ONE director).

Maybe ACORN could get some extra cash running a brothel with underage illegal immigrants, or something.

Maybe? You can be sure that's just one thang they got on the side

cut off ACORNs “housing funds”.

lets not get too carried away. i don’t think this means that ACORN is finished.

sounds like what was cut off is a drop in the bucket.

I agree, they’ll just redirect the moneys. But this is definitely a start.

I’m really impressed by the people who did that filming. Modern day Tom Paines, in their own way...

I call them A-scorn. I scorn them and what they stand for.

Meaningless, safe vote for Senators.

The real challenge will be for the House to pass the bill with Maxine Waters screaming racist.

If both the House and Senate pass the bill, then Obama must decide whether to sign the bill or veto it.

Not enough. It's a crime-enabling group and likely a criminal group, too (election fraud). Its leaders must be indicted and group must be disbanded.

We can assume that any Senator who voted no is on Acorn’s payroll.

Durbin=Illinois.

Yep, this isn't the cure all, but this IS something that will stick to 0. He's on record all over the place stating that ACORN would be one of the major player in his presidency.

Looks like some chit might finally be sticking to the chit in chief!

Have to keep it up. They’ll just change names and Congress will send the money to that organization.

Heh heh heh. Hey Congress! Can you hear us now?! Looks like the ACORNs are going to have to go back to holding car washes to raise money to purchase their T-shirts.
