The Washington Post reports ACORN’s out:

“Democrats also made a number of concessions, abandoning demands that bankruptcy judges be empowered to modify home mortgages on primary residences for people in foreclosure. They also agreed not to dedicate a portion of any profits from the bailout program to an affordable housing fund that Republicans claimed would primarily assist social service organizations that support the Democratic Party, the official said. “

ACORN’s out

Good -- though I feel like I was just told I wouldn't be kicked in the groin after all; they were just going to proceed with to rob me anyway.

Would be interesting to see if this includes La Raza.

Hope this is correct. But we have to watch every future bill. Per the WSJ:

This isn't the first time this year that Democrats have tried to route money for fixing the housing crisis into the bank accounts of these community activist groups. The housing bill passed by Congress in July also included a tax on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to raise an estimated $600 million annually in grants for these lobbying groups. When Fannie and Freddie went under, the Democrats had to find a new way to fill the pipeline flowing tax dollars into the groups’ coffers.
