ACORN slated to get nearly $4 billion in Obama's fiscal 2011 budget
Wash Times ^ | 2/10/10 | staff

Posted on 02/10/2010 4:43:34 PM PST by pissant

To add to the list of outrageous earmarks in Obama's fiscal 2011 budget, ACORN, the embezzlement-prone, voter-registration-fraud-plagued, leftist community organizing group, is slated to receive nearly $4 billion from a taxpayer-funded slush fund.

The money will come from the Community Development Block Grant, one of the Department of Housing and Urban Development's longest-running programs. The HUD Web site cryptically defines the grant's purpose as providing "communities with resources to address a wide range of unique community development needs," not a reassuring description given the group's recent past history of aiding the community through gratuitous missappropriation of funds.

Has Congress already forgotten the Sept. 2009 ban it passed on ACORN and ACORN-afiliate funding? Or the video that led to the ban, footage showing ACORN employees urging individuals they thought were a prostitute and her pimp to set up a brothel and advising the pair on evading taxpaying? It would have had a hard time doing so, cosidering that ACORN is currently suing the federal government for the attempted ban.

This is an example of a program of why Ronald Reagan wanted “the line item veto.”

Why would bammie line iten veto his own budget?

I am ordering everyone reading this, to send a simple email to your Senators (especially the non Marxist ones) to express your feelings of outrage.
I am going to my Senator's Facebook page right now to do this.

Sarah should make a statement that if she were in charge she would oppose 4 billion dollars going to ACORN that could have gone to ordinary Americans as a stimulus check.(ploy; wink wink)

It’s just amazing: those who are corrupt should apply for immediate government assistance. You stand an excellent chance of obtaining funding. Those who in the past have been exposed as corrupt are especially encouraged to apply for monies. This is the Orwellian, CATCH-22 country that America has become under Obama. You have to wonder: is this JUST payback to the massive group and its ancillary affiliates that helped The One get elected — or is this hush money for things they know about Obama that he doesn’t want to come out? I know that may sound paranoid, but you have to think this way when scrutinizing the United States of Obamica.
