Funny you should mention that.
NeighborWorks Grants Prompt Criticism from GOP Leader
House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) requested in December 2008 that the Department of Housing and Urban Development withhold any future funding to the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) following the release of funds to the scandal-plagued group by NeighborWorks America. The previous week NeighborWorks America had awarded two taxpayer-funded grants totaling $17.2 million to ACORN, which was under investigation by the FBI for a “coordinated national scam” of voter registration fraud. “ACORN is not an organization that should be subsidized by taxpayers’ hard-earned money,” Boehner wrote. “ACORN, which for years has been closely connected with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, appears to have played a key role in the irresponsible schemes that led to the recent financial meltdown that has already cost Americans trillions of dollars in the form of government bailouts and lost retirement savings.” More here.
Reparations, pure and simple. Just like everything the Kenyan does.
