The money would come from the the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, which is part of the Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) $48.5 billion fiscal 2011 budget. CDBG grants, which are awarded to states and localities, then pass to groups such as ACORN.

The voters in Our Nation must - absolutely MUST - establish a Republican majority in the House and, hopefully, the Senate in 2010.

These organizations MUST be de-funded.

ALL OF THEM.

You think? The issue here is that Obummer is pushing the envelope at every turn and what do the Republicans do? They feign indignation but stay PC. F that. When do we plan on storming the WH and congress to address our grievances?

Democrats can not be trusted with our money. They are nothing but scheming crooks.
