   The Johanns Amendment is #2355 to H.R. 3288

   Why is a US Senator amending a House of Representatives bill?

   But, since they’re both (D), I’m not holding my breath.

   Let’s all hope that the pressure we have been applying to our elected officials regarding all of the wastefulness sinks in enough to get this passed. Afterall, we are about to enter the next election season and members of both party’s have their a$$’s on the line. Everyone, keep pushing and get this crimminal enterprise shut down and those at the top of ACORN get life plus 10.

   I’d be very surprised if ACORN becomes defunded in any way before the mid-term elections. The Dems are beholden to ACORN and will spare no amount of political capital to protect it.

    Really, people, what choice did they have after those videos hit FOX and the internet? If they had voted “No!” en masse the next gathering in D.C. would have been people heating tar, stacking rails, and tearing open feather pillows.

    I can see Britt Hume asking, “Senator Dodd, how could you vote to continue funding ACORN Housing after the two videotapes showing their employees promulgating criminal activities in their offices as part of their duties? Don’t you find it strange that in two separate locations the actions were pretty much the same, despite ACORN’s denials?”

I am not holding my breath for ACORN to dissolve their activities anytime soon.

    Lets hope so. We have pounded, pounded, pounded and they have not listened. We marched a million men and a million women and they are starting to get the picture. However, Obama is out making speeches every day about passing his health care reform now. He is not listening. He has a one focus mind here. Do it, at all costs.

    He may have actually jumped into the water before checking how deep it is. I think he is now caught bewtween a rock and a hard place. He has put a lot of political capital into this loser of a bill and he is in to deep to get out. He is pulling out all the stops because if it fails, he will lose a lot of political capital. Enough to hurt him.

    Not that I trust any of them, nor their associates/allies. But don’t go imagining it’s that easy to get around this. It might happen, but it would take time.

    Explaining their positions on the health care issue and the Afghanistan war. At least these were the topics of the piece I caught. I do not know the group they were speaking too, but it appeared to be a small auditorium.

    I didn’t say I agreed with them not being there. However, they appeared to be busy addressing the current issues that the country is divided over.

    My point was that they were not ‘avoiding’ voting, as this appeared to be a scheduled event, whereas the bill presented today was not.

    They are being funneled money from a variety of sources.

    If money was being made from prostitution, graft, and other illegal trades, then I would think the IRS would swoop down.

    The same racketeering laws used to prosecute other fraud operators and the Mafia should be used against ACorn.

    How about simple defrauding the American People by fraudulent use of Taxpayer’s money. That should be enough, let alone all the fraudulent tax paper work and housing benefit applications that this organization used taxpayer money to assist with.

    I’d be very surprised if ACORN becomes defunded in any way before the mid-term elections. The Dems are beholden to ACORN and will spare no amount of political capital to protect it.

    There lies the reason for the dem vote in the Senate…Acorn has too many affiliates/alias’s to get white washed by this bill.

    Acorn is being paid money to ‘assist’ people in filling out their tax forms and paperwork to qualify for low interest housing loans and even free houses.

    By assisting people to defraud our government out of taxpayer money, while being paid taxpayer money to do it is horrendous!

    Thye had the Audacity to commit such crimes and Hope that they wouldn’t be caught. Remember…Obama will take care of everything…he is on their side and protecting them.

    Does anybody think these few incidents are what prompted this vote? My guess is that soon there will be much more evidence of widespread corruption involving senators and congressmen nationwide coming to light as the few attorneys general with honor and decency begin to investigate, and this vote was an attempt to throw a shoe into the gears. Bipartisan heads are about to roll.

    Voting for that freak Alan Keys had the same effect as writing in “The Lizard People”(Green Party) in the 08 election. In other words, it helped Obama become the next president. Voting for a third party in what is in all reality a two party election is as helpful to the conservative cause as being a one legged man in a a** kicking contest.

    Thanks, thanks a lot.

    They seemed to jump on this way too quickly, which makes me concur. What else are they aware of and hiding?

    Can you smell the fear? Imagine what is going on in the White House….

    Pressing this issue is going to create a schism between the Socialist thugs and the career Democrats trying to save their political perks. The closer this gets to the White House the more toxic The One will become.

    I agree with those who have written that 9/12 helped shape this vote.

    True, but I think Obama’s feelings right now are like General Garrison the commander in Somalia in 1992, who said in “Blackhawk Down” when the first Blackhawk helicopter went down, “We just lost the initiative.”

    We are transitioning from defense to offense.

    i have to agree about Keyes. If Raushenberger had been put on the ticket after Ryan dropped out then we might have avoided getting “senator” obama
    Keyes was put on the ticket because the state GOP wanted a black guy to run against a black guy(I voted for Keyes in the 2000 primaries) and we see where that got us.

    Keyes performance in 2006 makes it that I’ll write in Yacko, Wacko, and Dot before I write in Keyes.

    ACORN = Help Criminals/Illegals get Free Houses that the taxpayer is paying for.

    They were helping a person they thought was a criminal making $96,000.00 to cheat on the paperwork to qualify for a free house! How many hard working, law abiding citizens can’t afford a house, let alone make 100K a year and still can’t qualify for a free house. But go to ACORN, tell them you are ‘one of them’ (a criminal) and WOW, the free house is yours!

    Simply put, I do see a racial component to this, and I’m pround to have the honesty to say so. These scum are the dregs of society, the worst aspect of America. And the President tells us to aspire to their level in his commencement speeches. No wonder parents don’t want the King of the Dregs spreading his message to school children.

    Then it becomes incumbant for conservatives to to take full control of one party or another, does it not?
