President Obama has said that both parties must take on their “sacred cows” in order to reach a debt-ceiling compromise. He could start by taking on ACORN, a cow so sacred to the Democratic Party that it is still receiving federal funding despite a 2009 vote by Congress to stop giving the controversial group any more tax dollars.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has awarded two separate grants of $79,819 and $461,086 to ACORN this year, according to USAspending.gov.
But you might not know that unless you know the organization receiving the money - the Affordable Housing Centers of America – is the same group that was formerly ACORN Housing.
Although the group changed its name, it still uses the same tax identification number and still appears on the government website as ACORN Housing Corporation, Inc.
This funding has been provided despite the “Defund ACORN Act,” which Obama signed in 2009.
The $79,819 grant was part of a program to “educate the public and housing providers about their rights and obligations under federal, state, and local fair housing laws.“
So not only is the federal government still funding ACORN, but it is employing its operatives to educate landlords and building owners about their “obligations.”

Explain this to the seniors who have been bamboozled into believing that their SS will be cut off ..to pay for THIS BS!

And helping set up whore houses for underage bitches and ho’s? Good grief, this is pathetic.
They need the marxist thugs to implement their new world order of race warfare—divide and conquer— and keep the white man silent and enslaved. All from Alinsky—intimidate and silence all debate (because they, the controlling elites, have no logic, reason and science on their side—it is all a house of cards—the Big Lie). Brainwashing and training idiots is their method.
The money rolling in to Acorn et al is being kicked back to the Obama campaign fund in small amounts. It takes a whole year to do the billion dollar fund raising from the kick back process.
The kick backs come from millions of small recipients of the stimulus theft
Congress holds the purse strings & they need to be bombarded with calls, letters & emails to finally cut funding off to these criminals!!
This is totally disgusting!!
