U.S. Sen. Bob Casey Jr. is one of only a few lawmakers casting a vote in support of ACORN, and the Democrat is taking a lot of heat for it. On Monday, the U.S. Senate voted 83-7 to block federal funds to ACORN, which has received federal housing grants to help low-income families learn how to get mortgages. Casey, D-Pa., was among the seven in opposition to that measure.
