Senate AGAIN votes to deny ACORN money

[melensdad]

Given that ACORN is a preferred organization of the Democratic Party this is pretty astounding that they keep voting to prevent money from going to ACORN.

With No Fanfare, Senate Hits ACORN, Again

With no fanfare and no roll call vote, not even a speech -- the Senate on Tuesday unanimously approved an amendment by Sen. Mike Johanns, R-NE, that bars any funds from the Defense spending bill from going to ACORN.

Johanns promised to introduce a similar amendment on every spending bill Congress considers this year, until the chamber takes up his broader bill that would impose permanent ban on ACORN receiving any federal funds.

It took the Senate a little over one minute to consider the measure.

I wonder if they attached a second provision to the same vote...

It's a good start; but why haven't they removed ACORN as the Census Takers yet?

The Census Bureau already did that

ACORN has already served it's purpose. The damage done by them is already here so this is nothing more than a "paper victory".
