Why the h*ll are my fed tax dollars going to get out the vote efforts?.

ACORN, which organizes low- and moderate-income families, [to get out the vote] slashed the number of precincts it will target in Contra Costa County from 50 to about 25 or 30.
More importantly, why is ANY partisan group getting fed funds to get out the vote?

If you don't vote, the repsonsibility is YOURS and I don't want my tax dollars going to get you off your butt.
