WAS ACORN REALLY DEFUNDED?

This is why the American public has come to mistrust politicians and why the popularity of President Obama and this Congress is falling like a rock. When THE PEOPLE find out that ACORN was really only defunded for 31 days (October 1-31), there should be a political coup in November 2010. This is the same ACORN that Obama represented. --The same ACORN being sued in multiple States for voter fraud. --And yes, the very same ACORN found on tape aiding criminal activities such as prostitution, underage sex, illegal immigration, tax fraud, etc.

What really happened? The American public thought justice was bestowed October 1 when both Houses of Congress defunded ACORN, instead, justice resembled more of a "timeout" than a permanent financial penalty. According to Byron York, at the Washington Examiner, “what they (Congress) actually did was bar lawmakers and federal agencies from giving any money to the community organizing group for the duration of the temporary budget agreement, or continuing resolution, that was in effect at the time. Continuing resolutions are used to extend federal spending, and keep the government running, when Congress can't agree on appropriations bills for the fiscal year. When the congressional defunding of ACORN went into effect on October 1, there was a continuing resolution in place that would last until October 31.”

So will Congress continue to deny ACORN of Federal funds? We, at TFR, can’t imagine this ban will be renewed any longer than a few more months (when Congress feels the public will forget about ACORN's misappropriate behavior). ACORN almost exclusively works for the Democratic Party. [NOTE: It is illegal to take Federal funds and proactively work to elect officials, but ACORN does it anyway]. And Congress and Obama will need all the support they can gather in 2010 due to how un-popular Obama’s polices are.

Now we wonder why there is so much voter apathy when injustices like this keep happening.

YES WE CAN…VOTE BETTER in 2010 and 2012!
