Dems Vote to Allow Federal Funding for Corrupt ACORN
by Rep. John Boehner (R-OH)
Last night, defying the will of a bipartisan majority of the House and Senate, Democrats voted to allow the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) to receive federal taxpayer dollars.
In September, large Congressional majorities in both houses voted to sever all ties between the federal government and ACORN. The Senate vote was 85-11; the House vote was 345-75. You’d think that those votes, which USA Today described as prohibiting “any federal funding for the community organizing group,” would have settled the matter. You’d be wrong.
Months later, with the country’s focus on jobs, healthcare, and the Global War on Terror, Democrats are moving to restore funding to ACORN. Last night, Rep. Tom Latham (R-IA) offered an amendment during deliberations on the Democrats’ massive year-end appropriations bill to clarify the prohibition on federal funds going to ACORN or its subsidiaries. That amendment was shot down on a 5-9 party line vote as Republicans sided with taxpayers while Democrats stood with ACORN.
Rep. Latham’s amendment is necessary to prevent taxpayer money from going to ACORN because the Obama Administration’s Department of Justice has taken advantage of a legal loophole to allow ACORN to continue to receive federal funds – despite the passage of the House GOP’s Defund ACORN Act in the fall.
The American people and the Congress have spoken loud and clear: ACORN should be denied any taxpayer funds. Period.
ACORN has already received far too much money from the American people. An analysis of federal data by the Office of the Republican Leader staff determined that ACORN has received more than $53 million in direct funding from the federal government since 1994, and has likely received substantially more indirectly through states and localities that receive federal block grants.
Enough is enough. The American people are tired of seeing their tax dollars wasted on an organization accused of serious crimes – and that’s why House Republicans are stepping up efforts to defund ACORN once and for all.

Corruption is destroying this country.
So much for bipartisanship… Democraps will do whatever they want, whenever they want. Principles be Darn'd…
Unbelievable. The Democratic/Progressvie/Socialist Party sincerely wants US to become a Third World Banana Republic.
Not only is mediocrity rewarded, but better yet the lowest of the low.
Obama-Reid-Pelosi and all their followers are completely and utterly amoral.
Soul-less, dead men walking. This is so freaking surreal, like watching a very bad B movie.
Me thinks they WANT a revolution……..
My question exactly. What is the next step? This MUST stop.
Imo, the democrats are supporting the funding to make sure they receive acorn "help" come election time.
Disgusting. And this must be stopped now, long before campaigns get ramped up or it will be a given that things will be very ugly come election time.
Is it 2010 yet?
rightWingInc.com
Talk about Going Rogue, what are they nutts!?
Legal loopholes will not go unnoticed.
Enough is enough! Vote people! Get the bums "packing" and put people in that know what the meaning of a dollar is. How can you possibly govern if you've never had a REAL job and had to meet a payrol ?
Why is this organization still in business? Better yet, who are the traitors that voted for this? Get the names and post them here and everywhere. Would be great if someone could keep track of the names and maintain a master list. Then when the sheep finally start complaining you can just hand them a list and say "so who on that list is in your district? And why did you re-elect them?" The finger of blame is moving more and more toward the voters that put these fools in office. These people in DC do not care about any of you, everything they do they do for their own personal advancement in political office and financial gain. Of course the media, bias fringe media is silent as I am sure their pockets are being lined by these animals.
What are you prepared to do?
Time to give corrupt politicians, bias fringe media and the special interest groups a "lethal" dose of their own medicine through http://www.savingtherepublic.com
You have to have principles beore you damn them.
ACORN…Asscociation Of Community…blah blah blah.
more closer to the point would be >
A Criminal Organization Re-Named
They seem to be calling Breitbart's bluff . . . But I don't think he's bluffing.
Thank you Congressman Boehner. Please hold the line until we can get you some reinforcements in 2010 and God Bless you.
Nope….not 2010….. 1 9 8 4 ! !
We'll be lucky to get to a 2010 election without a complete economic collapse. Then what? Suspend elections due to national emergency? Invalidate election results with legal maneuvering? Nothing would surprise me at this point….
The amazing thing to me is that the corruption is right out in the open. It's like a dictatorship that has no fear of the people.
Democrats and ACORN are totally corrupt. Republicans not too far behind (and that only because they are out of power). Time for a third party — a TEA party to skim the scum off the pond we call Congress.
These people are unbelievable. Just amazing… Get rid of them all>
Check out this web site You can help get rid of these people.

Democrat support for Acorn funding will be a major issue next November! Those who support, or defend
ACORN are domestic terrorists, and must be removed from office!!! November 2010 cannot come soon
enough!
In the name of God almighty, when will our citizens wake up to the UN sponsored, & US DEM's assistance of the Communist take over of this nation. Yesterday's threat , by the White House to Congress, regarding the regulation of Green House Gasses by the EPA unless they pass Cap & Trade, is not only unconstitutional but it is thuggery and extortion up front and personal and in the face of each and every one of us. This is on the heels of the Climate gate e-mail scandal proving that this entire premise of man-made global warming is a sham on the whole world. Shout from the mountain tops at your reps before they muzzle us all.
Vote the Bums OUT who voted to support ACORN. iTS THATS SIMPLE!!!
My roommate/friend is a liberal (let's call him Ben) – votes Green party most of the time. Ben voted for Obama in '08.
Ben will not retract his vote. I think it's because Ben likes to see the liberal agenda move forward. Sucked in by Obama's pledge for transparency and "crossing of the aisle" campaign rhetoric, Ben now has to go along with the radical ideas of the secular progressives. It's still early though, Ben (like me) is in his late 20's.
Shouldn't the formerly 'mainstream' media be reporting this? I mean, if Dubya had done these things…..
Thank you Boehner! Now what do we do about it? Please Andrew, come to the rescue!! We are hoping you have more videos that tie PBO to these crooks!
LIBERALS are doing ALL of our work for us!

The Anti Liberal Zone
See you morons in 2010 and 2012.
PETREAUS/PALIN 2012
The above pertains to anything that this administration and congress touches. ACORN being one of the most agriegious. They may have not "Broken the Law…in the videos" but, if someone would investigate this crap, I bet they'd find some broken ones.
What is amazing about this is that people are amazed. What else could Damacrats do beside stand by their puppy?
Who were the members of that commitee and are they up for un-election in 2010?
you know – there may be quite an element of truth to your comment about a revolution. the actions of the last year (less than) have been in planning for quite some time. this is all so very well calculated and executed.
it's very, very scary stuff.
[...] Top GOP: Dems Vote to Allow Federal Funding for Corrupt ACORN [...]
ACORN will need to be stopped by force. It's time to fight back. These criminals undersand only one thing. Swift and overpowering violence. I suggest it get done before Obama appoints them his "Civilian Security Force" and arms them and SEIU. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tt2yGzHfy7s
If that's what they want…..time to lock and load!!
The way the democrats are going, this is looking to be a stellar election for anyone without a "D" after their name.
I wish I was a cartoonist
I think the 5 members of the commitee that voted it down should be shown carrying a throne, on it would be a an ugly pimp looking dude with a an ACORN bling necklace, dragging along some child prostitutes on a chain, the politicians would be pimped out as well.
Caption – How long until you think the voters figure this out?
Dems will be adding to the unemployment numbers in 2010 and 2012. SOB's will fall dor their protection of ACON. More time will provide more opportunities for greater exposure of their, ACON, coruption as I am certain more videos, documents, and whistle blowers are ready to make a debut.
Chances are there will be no next election in November 2010. No one should think these people have not already thought out that potential. They are bold because they know there will not be a next election. Look for any crisis to set the election aside and elections to follow.

ACORN is a thoroughly corrupt organization and should not only be defunded, it should be prosecuted. The Democrats will do everything in their power to sweep this under the rug and keep funding their buddies and WE all need to continue to shine the light of day on it.
THIS IS NUTS ! Are these Democrats insane ?? Are Democrats even AMERICANS now ? This is so hard to fathom in VIEW OF this countries mandate about defunding ACORN ! So now we taxpayers are funding an ILLEGAL Democrat supported lobby that criminally influences votes.
The Democrats are at the point now where they could care less about what Americans want in their elected representatives. It's a "F__K YOU attutide… "we are going to do what WE want and to hell with you stupid voters".
My rage is going to give me a heart attack. Is there not ONE LEGITIMATE DEMOCRAT who truly loves this country above him(her)self ? Good Lord…. Are you assholes going to get a spanking next November !
Destroying this country or is it just exposing the Corupt Criminal activties of Hussein and his Posse of Clowns?
The Dems will not give up Acorn and go quietly into the night. They use Acorn as shock troops to roust people in the poor neighborhoods to vote for them and to pick them up and take them to the polls on election days. They register only Democrats and support only Democrats. They, and the SEIU union thugs are the troops on the ground for the party. We have one, and only one, chance left. And that is; vote Republican and Independent ONLY in 2010. If we can get 41 Democrat seats reversed in the House, we can unseat Nancy Pelosi and take majority control of the committee's away from the absolutely CORRUPT Democrats like; Frank, Conyers, Murtha, Rangel, Waxman, etc.
We ARE today a corrupt governed people. If Obama's chief of staff, Rohm Emanuel is allowed to run the census, there will be no more chance of electing Republicans or Independents to many districts-they will be gerrymandered for Democrats only-that's why the White House took control of the census-hello? Control of the air you breathe, control of your health, control of your banks, and control of your health. What's left?
Bipartisanship, Transparency all Lies. Joe Wilson is correct….Hussein and his Posse of Clowns are LIARS.
Sorry, I said "control of your health" twice. I meant to add control of education!
We have the opportunity to Right their, The Dems, Wrong in 2010 and 2012.
I think ACORN shoudl be RICO'd right up the tailpipe, but I have to ask why are we giving TAX money to ANY organization?
Both parties have signed on to the Redistributionist ideology, it's just that one (Dem's) have turned it into a deviant art form while the other dabbles in it more and more.
A previous author here is right, this is a single party system in DC that see's us as it's economic slaves
This is not a mere "culture" of corruption — it's an entire party BASED on corruption.
These Democrats are turning out to be the MOST corrupt party in the history of the U.S. Funding corruption with ACORN, kick backs to cronies/friends/relatives/girlfriends, standing in the way of justice, lying consistently to the American public, refusing to allow necessary investigations of fellow democrats. I understand that these things occur at some level in all governments, however, these Democrats are writing a new book on how corrupt a government can be. There is no honor or integrity anywhere in the hearts. Their pride get in the way of their ability to see beyond their blinders.
Of course they are funding Acorn,they need that corrupt org to keep the voter fraud going, so they can remain in office. It is a crime that they are recieving our tax money and needs to be investigated. If others in congress do not stand up against this administration, they need to go also, Our constitution is going by the wayside as they are stealing our country. They will not listen to the people as they push their agenda down our throats. Please Wake Up America before there is nothing we can do to stop this train.
So Mr. House Republican Leader what are you going to do about it. Come here and whine about it, or are you going to be a leader?
"and that’s why House Republicans are stepping up efforts to defund ACORN once and for all."
So what is the plan, we sure would like one that We The People can support. We want to support you, but you offer a platitude, not a solution. How long will it be before you bring solutions to this site. Were waiting Mr House Republican Leader.
Correction: COMMUNISTS, disguised as "Democrats" are destroying this country. It has been going on for at LEAST 50 years.
GOOGLE: "The 45 Stated Communist Goals" and read the list. It's right out of the "Democrat" playbook.
GOOGLE: "The Sworn Affidavit of Bishop Ron McRae" and read that as well. Then you'll have a good idea of just who and what the illegal Kenyan Muslim Marxist racist anti-Christ usurping White House squatter is!
I predict that by the time next November rolls around, free elections will be a thing of the past. This IS the final phase of the Communist Takeover Of America, people, right under your stuffed up noses!
and why are'nt the Republicans making a big to do about this? There should be TV & radio ads about this so everybody knows about this; not only people who read blogs. Wake up Michael Steel! WAKE UP!!
Let me guess how many of the 9 who voted against the ban were black and the others were affraid of the black vote. White america stand up and take charge. Liberals do not care about white america. Vote them out in mass. THose who have to ask if this is based on race…. the answer is yes. Blacks support blacks and white support whites. Let see who wins the next election.
Get ready to fight, people. Fight them with demonstrations in their states and districts. Fight them outside their office buildings. Fight them at the election booths. Arm yourselves for any rebuttals. Take the liberals and RINOs and weaklings out of office. Let's take our country back from the criminals, conspirators, treasonists, career politicians, leftists and marxists pundits and writers, atheists, peaceniks, pinkos, who took it from us while we played nice and sat by. It is our country, fought for and won by the blood and sacrifice of common people!!! Fight!! Fight!! Fight!!
Try Palin/Rubio. If you're not familiar with him, check him out at marcorubio.com
Senator Boehner, the platform your party should be running on in 2010 is the Anti-Corruption platform with adds detailing the massive links the democrat party has to these corrupt organizations. If it weren’t for ACORN Al Frankin would not be a US Senator right now.
This corruption is far more systemic than anything the few Republicans were accused of when pelosi ranted about her “culture of corruption”. These organizations are directly in bed with the democrats and they are flaunting it in our faces. They don’t seem to care that we can see what they are doing.

One of the worst things that has happened to this country is the liberal media's paving of the way for the Democratic Party to take over Congress and Obama to win the presidency. Some people, including some Republicans, like to blame George Bush, but this was the media's doing; and the media are still at work, under – reporting, falsely reporting, or not reporting at all, what certainly looks to be the efforts of those in power to destroy America.
First – THANK YOU Andrew and your wonderful patriotic assistants! I live for your posts each day. I have spread the word far and wide to friends and relatives re this website and record and watch Glenn every day. KEEP up the attack for we who can't help till we get out the vote in 2010! Keep the pressure on Acorn so that we the 'severe backlash tea party or 912 ers etc' have less of a problem winning elections! Without thier cheating and dragging people to polls in presidential elections these marxists would not be in office. For the rest of my life I will never again take government for granted. Not even the dog catcher will escape my study!
I am sitting here flabbergasted at the WH threatening THE PEOPLE with a 'punitive' misuse of EPA powers!
For positive fun I have been checking the 'links' on http://www.isthereglobalcooling.com/
THANKS!
Elections have consequences. The corruption of the Democrat Party is only as deep as the ignorance of the voters. ACORN guarantees millions of ignorant, uninformed voters for the Democrat party every election year. The Democrats continue to push to fund ACORN even after being exposed as a criminal enterprise because they have to. They are linked at the hip. One needs the other for their mutual survival and to stay out of jail. Every Democrat that supports this organization is as much a criminal as the ACORN ring leaders and street thugs. We need to continue to loudly expose ACORN and their political guardians and come 2010, after taking back Congress, end this criminal enterprise with Congressional investigations and jail for those found to be behind the years of stolen public funds and election fraud.
MAYBE WE NEED TO TAKE BASEBALL BATS TO THESE BASTARDS IN THE STREETS. LETS START DOIN IT!!!!!!
KILL ACORN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!12 % OF THE POPULATION DOES NOT DICTATE TO THE REAL MASSES… BLACK IS WHACKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Change your exemptions so they won't get your tax dollars.
Not surprised. This is the Chicago way.
Keep trying to hold them accountable, Breitbart!
Get it through your heads, folks — there isn't going to be a 2010 election. Thanks in part to "Dubya's" campaign of executive centralization and his series of secretive "executive orders", the Central Government (it's an abuse of language at this point to call it "Federal") is now poised to assume control of all transportation, communications and other vital resources on the simple declaration that a "crisis" exists. We are poised today on the brink of so many "crises" that almost any one of them could be invoked at a moment's notice to justify canceling the scheduled election — from financial collapse (or social unrest triggered by it), to a (false flag) terrorist attack (and/or an assassination attempt), to widespread public protest over almost anything. Take your pick — just don't count on voting for anything a year from now.
I would like to compile a list of government funded "organizations" that are politically motivated and to which party they are beholden. Perhaps after the holidays. Isn't it illegal to use taxpayer's money to support any political agenda?
time for blood…
The entire Congress is up for "Un Election" in 2010. Anyone who is in, will soon be OUT.
FistGate
ClimateGate
Union takeover of the auto industry at the expense of sharholders and bondholders.
The takeover of our election process by SEIU and ACRON….
Do I need to say more Mr. Boehner?
You need to start screaming from the rooftops about what is going on in this government or we are done as a first world nation.
Seriously, is anyone really surprised by this? Of course they voted to fund ACORN, Obama owes them big time for thier financial support of his campaign and all of the "voter registrations". Just another day in Obamaville.
Can our country get any more pathetic? 2010? What good does voting do when ACORN runs the show on how it will turn out with their corruption?
Democrats and the Obama Administration are the MOST CORRUPT group of political INCOMPETENTS to ever be in power at the same time in Washington, DC. These people are CRIMINALS. It is of the utmost importance to our country that we REMOVE as many as possible from office AS SOON AS POSSIBLE – 2010 and 2012.
We are going to have a new American Revolution and it will not be peaceful if they do not LEAVE GOVERNMENT.
These are the future brownshirts – get the lesson from history….they're only doing it differently.
Democrats do NOT have ANY PRINCIPALS.
Next November, be sure to remind you friends if the Dimocrap congressman running of reelection in your district continued to support giving taxpayer money to ACORN.
It's time to vote out corruption even if it includes all the Dimocraps and many of the Republicans.
Meantime, I'm stocking up on food, water, and ammo…
Democrats bankroll the most corrupt groups in America………..ACORN, BLACK PANTHERS, ACLU……….pathetic!!!
Call it what it really is – reparations.
Three more weeaks. Then the race begins.
I don't think we have until Nov. I got this gut feeling martial law is coming after what we're witnessing here. Everytime you think it can't get any worse, sure enough…just like clockwork, it does.
The corruption is blatantly being shoved in our faces and we don't have ammo…no voice, not a representative to be had.
C'mon, Andrew…do you have a card you can play here to hang these bastards once and for all??
Good. I'm glad they are giving ACORN more money. After all, they will ensure Democrats continue to win elections and stay in power. After all. Barrack Obama won didn't he cause Americans voted for him. Get used to it suckers.
Right Wingers, you are just jealous that you don't have a covert organization like ACORN to steal elections and convert America over to your idealogy. Socialism is here to stay and I can't wait till I don't have to work or pay anymore bills.
Ya all will get used to it. Just move to a beach town and get high everyday. Trust me.
LOL – I love your name! I had completely forgotten about El Kabong! thanks for the smile and memories =)
Corruption HAS destroyed the country . There , i fixed it for you
This disregard for the rule of law makes it quite simple. The majority of the population must replace every member of the House that voted for continued ACORN funding. This vote also illustrates the need to mandate Term Limits for members of Congress.
Look at the State Sovereignty platform of Ray McBerry as he runs for Govorner of Georgia and see how those principles could be applied in your state. http://www.georgiafirst.org
It would be great if someone would publish names
When is enough ENOUGH???? It seems to me they are forcing a violent overturn of our government so they can cast blame on all those evil right wing extremists. I never thought a day would come when I view my fellow americans as the enemy. That day has come most likely because this is what the left and obama want . They hate everything this country stands for for because it gets in the way of their perverted thoughts.
I am not nor ever have been a conspiratorial type but i NOW fear you may be right. For these seditious bastards to move forward with the intent of thoroughly pissing off the electorate AGAINST their will is very very disturbing. It is starting to smell like martial intent. It's as if they are are pushing us to the end of our ropes with the hope of causing insurgence against the government. This is no longer America. It is being methodically flushed by plan, I fear.
What (to me) is most bothersome is the lack of a "protesting" Congressional Democrat voice in this foray of power grabbing. Are they all corrupt or is it blackmail by ObamaPOS and his minions in the traditional Chicago style against all Democrat House members. This is truly scary.
I'm waiting for the spontanious combustion…..

One gets the sense that a cancer is growing within our government agencies. Extraordinary procedures may be necessary to save the nation. Time to bring out the guillotine?
I'd like to see an all-White nation, with a government by and for Whites, formed out of the terminally-corrupt USA's ashes.
Now you know what the 2nd Amendment is for.
lie, cheat, steal, whine and cry……and then teach othes to do the same. IMPEACH CORNGATE!!!!
There is still freedom of Speech, that is until they take that as well.
You know when this is all going to end? When people say, ENOUGH, and start taking out Democrats, and I don’t mean through the electoral process. What good is being a law abiding citizen when our government is being run by a collection of thugs. Our country is being destroyed. Our future and that or our children is being robbed. The decent hard-working people don’t have any representation. These idiots in the left which now has the democrats on a leash, starting with that stupid Marxist in the White House, are pushing this country towards a civil war.
It is time to remove these people from office by any means available leagle or not they are morally bankrupt..
What if we UNELECT all of these idiots in 2010, and they refuse to leave? Waht Then?
If Palin were in office, this creep organization would have been defunded and dismantled by now, and its leaders sporting orange jumpsuits. Just ask the rotten, corrupt ex-government officials, who have Sarah Palin's high heel wedged up their backside, currently doing time in an Alaskan prison.
Instead, because Hussein Hope-n-Change and the Democratic Congress is relying on their fraudulent votes next year, ACORN will be publicly funded, showered with the full array of government subsidies they've become accustomed to, and provided with protection by Black Panther Party thugs.
Welcome to the Chic-Kenyan Way.
How can this crap be stopped?! Why
don’t the republicans in congress stand
up and say flat out what’s going on?!
Why don’t they raise their voices …and
I mean …BE LOUD!? Why don’t they call
them out on their lies and
contradictions!? Like Joe Wilson! Why
don’t the republican show any sense of
urgency?! Why don’t the republicans in
congress call conservatives to rally
like Michelle Bachman has done?!
WHY!?
WHY NOT!?
Damn it, I’m fed up. It seems nothing
can be done about this crap. We can’t
even count on our congress to stand up
to them!
Can any of this crap be undone?

I would like to dedicate this video to the Democrats and ACORN-SEIU-ACLU-AFL-CIO here it is it fit’s them perfectly http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=io9RmKeLh00
All Congressmen & women that voted for $$ to Acorn should be recalled for proving they are total idiots. Money for corrupt crooks, fit right in with "govt we can believe in".
This is so maddening. When are we going to rise up off of our collective butts and permanently fix these problems?

Ciminal
Organization

Niggers
Keep dreaming. Groups like ACORN and our self-destructive immigration policies will insure Dem victories forever. Secession is the only remaining hope for liberty-loving people. The US is broke and the govt in the next few years won’t be able to pay it’s bills without massive counterfeitting by the Fed.
Please get ready to defend your Republic from Washington, in every sence.
The taxpayer's money? Democrats view it as THEIR personal piggy bank stash to "redistribute" to their friends & fellow travelers.
It won't be long until citizens start voting the bums out with lead.
test
COME ON ANDREW! GET HANNAH AND JAMES AT WORK AGAIN
THIS IS REAL BULLSH%$~
I HAVE HAD ENOUGH ………….ENOUGH FOLKS
Seems that since our government won't execute on the will of the people, then the people should take charge of their personal finances and withhold an amount from your income taxes that equals the amount our government dispenses against the will of the people.
Obama and the Liberals depnd on ACORN. They got Obama elected with their voter fraud. Of course they are going to try and sneakily continue fund them. We need a coup, folks.
I had really hoped that Steele would have got things on the right path for the GOP but he is worthless
Ziggy — You mean "egregious" — but your point is generally well taken.
The notion that the Acorn employees didn't break the law in counseling the undercover citizen investigators to milk a federal grant system and employ illegal aliens in their prostitution business is, I think, a Dem. spin on the matter, and not accurate. By taking federal funds, Acorn subjected itself to a host of regulations about how those funds are spent. While the pretend pimp didn't actually defraud the government by taking any of the money, the mere COUNSELING of a "client" to do that is probably a violation.
And your broader point is spot on — that if ACORN employees would encourage improper claims for federally funded assistance this routinely, and repeatedly, the videotaped incidents must represent only the tiniest tip of the iceberg of corruption within the organization.
If our taxes go to funding organizations who are detrimental to our Country…………….just don't pay your taxes………….We The People will crowd the jails so bad…………that the Liberals will have to shut ACORN down to pay the prison bills!
Nuremberg Trials in 2010 for corrupt Justice Department, ACORN, Democrats and all others who have usurped their sworn Constitutional Duty. did Barry Hussein Obowmao really swear on a Bible?
End the Department of Education.
End all Public funding for Arts.
End the Department of Energy.
End the EPA and bring it into another Department.
CUT THESE Haters off at the KNEES . END THEIR DEPARTMENTS and send them home to find real jobs.

That is what they are doing… The Dems HAVE turned there backs on the American people. They will rely on ACORN and it's corrupt friends to get them back into office, not the people.
Dems, you are on your way out.
Andrew is not the type of man to bluff on something as important as this.

Let's get back to reality and start talking with wisdom. Many here are responding with pure emotion and not thinking.
Due to jerrymandering and human nature what you suggest here is impossible.
We need leaders like Beck and Andrew to coordinate a 'community organized effort' to maximize our potential as free citizens. A conspirisy with 'benevolent dictators' as our founders were! Use Andrew and his patriots as encouragement and faith that self reliant people like ourselves will prevail in the end, with cleverness and picking up our opponent's arrows off the field of battle and shooting them back with the same skill!
Eric
Thanks!

Everyone keep count of who votes for what for 2010. We can start the purge then and finish it in 2012.
Don't Worry,
These Thugs will make ROOM for everyone. Don't you see. They will jail you for not buying their Health Scam.
Remember, CO2 damages the Atmosphere, the latest Fallacy.
Real Americans/Reps/Conservatives/Libertarians, "GIVE OFF" the wrong kind of CO2. They don't want us to BREATH much longer.
Congress needs to desove the EPA along with many of the other departments they have created.
I finaly found the right wording for the ACORN acronym.

Corrupt
Obnoxious

Didn't Bachmann tell us this would happen? And Beck? And other people in the know?
So what is the next step in stopping ACORN from getting taxpayers funds?
one more nail in the coffin for dems in congress…
The democrappy party needs ACORN to continue to be a viable entity in their plan to stiffle the truth, cook the books, and negate public disapproval of Obama and the majority leadership. So by guaranteeing more public taxpayer money being funneled to this scam company they can continue to take advantage of the American public. Next, they will be granting increased powers and probably try to find away to apply "Executive communications privilige" to the company, since obviously they have the ear and support of Obama.

USA government has turn upside down. The Obama's corrupt government funneling good money to a corrupt organization.
The democrats are slitting their own throats! WE THE PEOPLE will have a massive campaign against all the corruption!!!
Repubx.com
With what is going on in Congress recently, coupled with their lower than low approval ratings, the Dems are as corrupt as ACORN. Even Mickey Mouse knows that as a fact….yes…the same Mickey Mouse ACORN registered to vote in Florida in the last election when many Americans were duped into voting for an amateur community organizer. VOTE CONSERVATIVE IN 2010 AND 2012!!! We must end this lunacy as quickly as we can. Borat Obama thinks he has a lock on a second term…..lets send him packing after one!
Didn't you all hear… everything bad with ACORN is because of the organization's past leadership. All of the tapes are now old news — anything new to come out is pre-investigation — the investigation covered all improprieties. All is well with ACORN. This just in… the temperature went up 100 degrees across the world today, the ice caps melted in 24 hours, the oceans are rising, there IS ocean-front property in Arizona, taxes are being eliminated….
To destroy people's liberties attack their morals.
It is time to vote out all incumbents !
The folks in Washington need to get sent home for a reality check.
Mike, you are an idiot!!
cool – does this mean they can pay their back taxes? Since when do we give funds to tax cheats (aside from paychecks, right?).
Seems to me they should be placing leins on any income they receive – surely this is the main reason the Dems are giving them money? NOT
Why is payment of Federal taxpayer funds to ACORN such a high priority for the Obama admistration? Could it be that ACORN is funneling money to "Organizing for America" aka Obama for President? Pretty nifty racket, huh?
It's time for pitchforks and tar and feathers.
Xray Eye – I agree, have been stock piling ammo, as they ration it here (well, limit how much you can buy and store) I have never been afraid of MY government until Obama and his band of merry Marxists took over. Sad really.
This Country of ours is about to implode and end. Just when you think it can't get any worse, it gets really worse. There won't be anything left by 2010.
Wake up America!!! Don't you think it's about time we we take back our country and give it back to the people of the United States? United We Stand.

Acorn is a corrupt organization that 's sole purpose is to, through round about methods, funnel taxpayer funds back to the Democrat Party for personal enrichment and to ensure political control through means such as manufacturing phoney votes. Acorn is a criminal enterprise pure and simple. Political methods will not stop the entire Leftist movement and these supporting groups, it's going to require hard measures.
This Administration is the most Corrupt, most Anti-American Administration in the History of America! Democraps have shown that they hate America and are trying to destroy her!
Obama is the Worst President in American History, Beating Jimah Carter!
Hussein Obama and his Legion of Demons are America’s Greatest Enemy!
IMPEACH HUSSEIN OBAMA!
You're the sucker. In fact, you're a complete moron. Just wait until you see your taxes skyrocket and your energy bill go up to $3000 per family per year or a minimum of $650 per single person. We haven't even gotten to the VAT tax yet or the healthscare taxes kicking in in 2010 with no "health care" unti 2014. Those are healthcare taxes in addition to the premiums you now pay. Of course, you could be one of the great unwashed looking for freebies. The new healthscare bill extends Medicare to those who are 55 and older. That's right, all those people being added to the Medicare rolls while they take away $500 billion the first 10 years and $1 trillion the next ten. All from Medicare. If you aren't older now, you will be and then it's see ya sucker! Take that pill; no bypass for you! Courtesy of Mussolini MaoBama and his Commie cohorts.
Just in case you can't add the numbers because you seem to be mentally challenged (after all, liberalism is a mental disorder), adding 30-50 million to the Medicare rolls while taking away most of the money to support means very little health care, but that's okay if we die sooner because the crooks in DC have already spent the social security money. Also, the IRS will have direct access to your bank account. To the "death" panel, the one put into law in the stimu-less bill, you will be nothing more than a number as they decide what your treatment (if any) or medication (you could be denied) will be. But you seem to be happy with crumbs. Guess you're just a sucker for punishment. But there's always more kool-aid. Right?
Yes, I'm sure the East Germans felt the same way when the Wall was being built. They must have thought they were going to be living in a gated community.
THE DEMOCRATS SAY "NO SWEAT WE HAVE IT ALL PLANNED OUT""
Let's see ACORN fraudulent voter registration, 2010 elections-12-20 millions illegal aliens in our country. Obama (the Stealth Muslim ) a Marxist-The House of Representatives owned by the Corrupt Marxist Democrat Party-the Senate a majority in power there as well the corrupt Marxist Democrat party. Let's see what is coming up for vote in the very near future –AMNESTY -Obama said during his run up to the famous coup of 2008 that he would provide Amnesty to all illegals if elected.
BOTTOM LINE
ACORN WILL BE BACK IN THE RIGGING VOTES business paid for by U.S. Taxpayers-THE CORRUPT DEMOCRAT MARXIST PARTY WILL PASS AMNESTY AND ACORN WILL INDOCTRINATE OUR NEWEST 12-20 3RD WORLD AMERICANS CITIZENS-
ALL YOU NEW ILLEGALS MADE LEGAL VOTE DEMOCRAT LOCK IN YOUR WELFARE CHECKS….HELP KEEP OBAMA-NANCY-REID-AND THE REST OF THE MARXIST DEMOCRAT PARTY IN POWER
We will not only spank them in eleven more months… WE WILL BEAT THE DAMN-OLE-CRAP out of them.

The Democrats have many of us wishing our lives away, 2010 can't come soon enough. We have to hold on to the notion that everything destroyed by the Democrats in their power frenzy can be restored when they are voted out next year.
I keep telling my wife not to worry how much can they do before 2010.ALOT.I remember when i used to say theres no way they can get away with this were all watching,they do it anyway and figure were to ignorant to figure out what there doing.We are not stupid we pay these criminals paychecks. If the remaining moderate dems vote for this 2000 page abortion and basically kill thier own parents and grand parents they will have a place waiting for them with the unfortunate 10% of unemployed Americans and reap what they have sown.
WE NEED NAMES OF THE CLOWNS THAT CONTINUE TO DEFEND THE acorn SCUM! Then we need to get this info to the communities that these CLOWNS claim to represent, and make sure the VOTERS know that there elected representatives are (in the language of a Florida clown) ACORN WHORES! I hope the 2010 and 2012 election help us to get rid of the SCUM that are ruining our once great country!
The more power they get (whether they outright wrenching or our docile acquiescence), the less we matter.
Are we subjects yet? It is too close to call for me. So unlucky for us that the rulers are more malevolent than benevolent.
"and that’s why House Republicans are stepping up efforts to defund ACORN once and for all."
Oh? Pardon me, but when I hear a politician speak or read what he writes any more what I get is "wah wah wah wah wah".
Republicans want conservative votes? Get out there and do your damn job. If you do not feel up to it, step aside and let someone with a backbone and moral courage take the helm.
American people are not just tired of Acorn spending. If you do not get that, then the complete beatdown of the Republican party was deserved and regular Americans are not going to rally behind you. Get serious about being conservative again, quit the yammering and get serious about fiscal responsibility!
The Democrats will be spanked hard in November, but in the meantime we, the people need to take the checkbook and pen away from the idiots who evidently just don't care anymore. 2010 & 2012.
