Firefighters lose large US grant to ACORN
Sen. Vitter wants $1 million returned to Homeland Security

Nearly $1 million in Homeland Security funding typically earmarked for fire departments has been awarded to ACORN, despite a clear signal from Congress that it intends to cut off federal funding to the embattled group.

The grant to ACORN's Louisiana office became public on Oct. 2, less than three weeks after the House and Senate voted to cut off ACORN funding after employees were caught on video advising a fake prostitute and pimp on scams.

It was one of only three such grants issued to the state and made up almost 80 percent of the firefighting money earmarked for Louisiana, prompting one of the U.S. senators from the state to demand that the funds be taken back.

"I request that you rescind this grant based on a history of abuse of federal dollars by ACORN and their clear lack of expertise in this area," said Sen. David Vitter, Louisiana Republican.

Typical liberal slight of hand. I have wondered why Acorn hasn't done much PR work recently. they haven't lost a dime of our money.Our eleccted criminals have just changed the routing .

It was just reported that the million dollars originally earmarked for fire fighters in LA has been frozen. It is not going to Acorn just yet. Kudos to Vitter. But stay vigilant. Everyone needs to contact their reps and demand that a nationwide investigation begin on this corrupt organization and these investigations should NOT be investigated by the racist, bigot, black panther loving, Eric Holder. He is in bed with Acorn and with Obama. (My oh My Obama's bed must be pretty big by now) Each state needs to hold its own independent investigation on Acorn. That totals 50 separate investigations demanding to see the books. A non partisan investigation. Always follow the money.....When they look at the money and where it is going they can then see how this massive organization is funnelling the money to 300 different entities. We need to investigate SEIU next.......It will take some time but it must be done and WE ARE THE ONES WHO CAN PUT THE PRESSURE ON OUR INDIVIDUAL STATES......ENOUGH OF THIS CORRUPTION. ENOUGH......THEY DO IT OR THEY ARE FIRED.......GONE, NADA, ARRIVERDERCI, SAYONARA. IF YOU LIVE IN MINNESOTA YOU NEED TO HARASS YOUR REPS EVEN HARDER....I AM CONVINCED THAT THE WEASEL, AL FRANKEN , IS A FRAUD DUE TO ACORN....COLEMAN SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN THAT SENATORIAL SEAT....IT WAS HIS UNTIL THE RECOUNT.......LET'S ROLL !!!

ACORN is very strongly connected to black and liberal Congressmen, and Obambi. It is not going to be easy to cut federal funding for ACORN. We must keep up the pressure to DEFUND ACORN!

ACORN plot found, Oklahoma GOP says

A Republican state legislator released documents Tuesday which he says show the community-organizing group ACORN focused on helping Democrats in three legislative races in the November 2008 election and had developed a game plan to "take power” in Oklahoma within five years.

The documents, which include legislative district maps and various forms, were recovered from computers abandoned by ACORN workers in Oklahoma City, said Rep. Mike Reynolds, R-Oklahoma City. Also found was a script apparently used in Houston to go door-to-door to encourage voters to vote for Barack Obama in November 2008.
