From Michelle Malkin:
“The Johanns Amendment is #2355 to H.R. 3288.
Johanns cited the BigGovernment.com sting videos as evidence that ACORN cannot be trusted with government money:
“Until a full investigation is launched into ACORN, no taxpayer money should be used to fund its activities. A vote in favor of my amendment is a vote in favor of the taxpayer and a vote against the status quo.””
“Several Democrats have voted AYE, including Cardin, Carper, Inouye, Johnson (SD), Murray, Tester, Warner, Bingaman, Begich, Nelson (NE), Webb, Landrieu, Bayh, Conrad, Rockefeller, Dodd, Pryor, Hagan, Kohl, Feingold, Boxer, Nelson (FL), Brown, Harkin, Lincoln, Wyden, Baucus, Klobuchar, Kaufman, Shaheen, Lautenberg (switched from no to yes), Menendez, Stabenow, Leiberman, Levin, McCaskill.”
Ha! I guess after the tape expose the Dems were forced into voting for this.
But who knows—ACORN may just mutate into another organization and continue to get the funds anyway.
re: ACORN Amendment
Did they include their new name, prior legislation funds frozen to all in ACORN and hearings?
