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.

This is a sad commentary about the good folks of Pennsylvania. It's time for the fence rails again.

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.

So apparently the government of Pa. supports government in bed with organized crime. 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.
To: Tribune7
Now you know how Fast Eddie and company get 115 percent turnout in Philly every presidential election year, and why PA is now purple-blue. Its NOT because the state has changed - they have just learned to cheat better.
Annex Philly to NJ where it belongs, and PA is as red as Alabama (h/t to Serpanthead.
