p>Betcha you didn't know the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania gives tax dollars to groups that:
--Actively manage a political campaign
--Solicit or handle political contributions
--Solicit votes
--Endorse or oppose candidates
--Circulate partisan nominating petitions
--Organize partisan voter registration drives
Well it does and an attempt by State Rep. Steve Barrar (R-160) to fix those things was was defeated, yesterday, after Democrats in the Pennsylvania House voted unanimously not to even consider the motion which would have amended the state Fiscal Code.
The vote was 102-94 to protect ACORN.
The office of State Rep. Seth Grove (R-196) has said that an attempt is being made to find from the state Auditor General how much money ACORN has received.
Barrar, on July 30, introduced House Resolution 426 that was a formal request to state Attorney General to investigate ACORN. It was referred to the State Government Committee. It's chaired by Babette Josephs, a Philadelphia Democrat. She's a member of ACORN. Not much has happened regarding the request.

So apparently the government of Pa. supports government in bed with organized crime. Pa. government officials should be charged with RICO violations.

Crooks. They’re just plain crooks.
They re-elect Murtha the way Massivetwoshits used to re-elect Ded Kennedy...in fact, don’t count out the “greatest American swimmer” even now...
Pubbies: “Hey fox! Investigate the henhouse!”
Fox: “are you crazy?”
Pennsylvania is corrupt. I did not realize how far the corruption went.
Oh, yeah....as long as Fast Eddie and the Philadelphia Thugs are running the show, all of that is the order of the day.
Why not? ACORN got half of ‘em elected. At least.
Must have been pressured by Amish voters. </sarc>, just in case anyone thinks I’m serious.
This is the issue that will bring down the PA dems. IIRC both state houses were until recently controlled by Republicans. I’m sure the dems have ACORN to thank for their takeover but the Philly vote only goes so far.
Are you kidding!?! We've got the Godfather as our governor, for Pete's sake!! Of course they side with organized crime. Ol' Godfather Rendell has been holding out on our state budget for three months just so that he can let his crime buddies have thier casinos. He's got to look out for his retirement dontcha know.
Annex Philly to NJ where it belongs, and PA is as red as Alabama (h/t to Serpanthead.
Ugh... I forgot about Rendell.
This ASTOUNDING and INFINITE corruption in our government HAS GOT TO GO!
I cannot abide the stinking criminals in our government for one minute longer.
PLEASE let there be a video!
WEll it is murtha’s area...
