Stop federal funding of ACORN
Conservative Outpost ^ | Drew McKissick

Posted on 09/16/2009 6:59:57 AM PDT by Drew McKissick

Fellow conservative,

In the past few days we've seen overwhelming evidence that ACORN is a blatantly corrupt organization.  This comes on top of years of documentation that the group has been involved in everything from voter fraud to fraudulent loans.

Now comes video evidence that ACORN employees from at least three different offices conspired to help an alleged "pimp" obtain a loan to buy a house to use as a brothel - with underage girls working as prostitutes!

This is being done by an organization that has operated off of our tax dollars for years!

In light of the new evidence, the US Census Bureau severed its ties with the group, and members of the US Senate voted (83-7) to ban federal funding for ACORN.  But Nancy Pelosi and liberals in the House refuse to act.

Take Action now and sign the petition demanding that Congress BAN ALL TAXPAYER FUNDING FOR ACORN IMMEDIATELY!

Then send a message to your members of Congress and let them know how you feel.

The momentum is on our side, but we must keep up the pressure!

“In the past few days we’ve seen overwhelming evidence that ACORN is a blatantly corrupt organization. “

Also that the Federal government, state and local governments, and both political parties are blatently corrupt organization. They also should be defunded.

Senate votes on Johanns amendment to cut off ACORN housing funds:
Amendment passes, 83-7. Seven Senators voted NO (All Democrats)

Burris (D-IL)
Casey (D-PA)
Durbin (D-IL)
Gillibrand (D-NY)
Leahy (D-VT)
Sanders (I-VT)
Whitehouse (D-RI)

Nine of our Nitwits didn’t have the courage to vote — including (guess who) — John McCain:

Burr (R-NC)
Byrd (D-WV)
Coburn (R-OK)
Graham (R-SC)
Gregg (R-NH)
Hutchison (R-TX)
McCain (R-AZ)
Mikulski (D-MD)

We need to actively campaign against these people; especially the so-called Republicans.
