Update: ACORN disappointed

“We’re disappointed that the Senate took the rare and politically convenient step of supporting eliminating some federal funding for a single organization, one that has been the target of an historical political assault stemming variously from the Bush White House, Fox News, and other conservative quarters,” said Bertha Lewis, CEO of ACORN, in a statement after the Senate vote. “Fortunately, ACORN derives most of its income from its members and other supporters, so the decision will have little impact on overall operations. Tonight’s vote will burden the families who benefited from ACORN’s important work to improve housing conditions in the United States.”

    ACORN should be cut off from ALL funding. Their leadership should be arrested and imprisoned. This is an organized crime syndicate.
     
    And guess who is the bigest fraud they ever produced? You got it…
