Save America

Funny, if any of our driver license were taken from us due to a traffic violation, we couldn’t drive anymore. So, wouldn’t you think since funds were taken from ACORN due to infractions and VIOLATIONS, shouldn’t there be a moratorium against them receiving additional funds from our taxpaying dollars until they have cleared up their questionable assistance in voter fraud, funding prostitution, trafficking, etc.?

It seems our Government enforces laws of justice with bias. Thanks to the Obama  administration and a very liberal judge,  ACORN could be eligible to receive up to $3.99 billion in federal funding which is included in the massive $3.83 trillion 2011 budget released by Obama. This funding comes from a congressional slush fund, The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) which is part of the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) $48.5 billion 2011 budget. The Community Development Block Grants are awarded to states and localities and in turn are distributed to ACORN and other various group which compete at the state levels for grants.

So we ask, how is it that ACORN is eligible to receive additional federal funding when Congress imposed a ban on funding this organization several months back when it was exposed for assisting two filmmakers who posed as a pimp and prostitute and videotaped themselves asking for assistance at ACORN offices?             The filmmakers then released a hidden-camera tape which shows ACORN workers trying to help the pimp and prostitute. Two ACORN employees were fired in relation to the incident . The inmates are definitely running the asylum. A study by the non-partisan Congressional Research Service (CRS) found that ACORN properly used all federal dollars it received in the past five years. That report is so bogus and an insult to anyone who ever paid a tax. There should be a way to obtain the information Congress used to write this screenplay. Reports like these do not give anyone the incentive to demonstrate honest, fair business practices. It actually discourages one to drive for success. Democrats are so generous with everyone’s money. What promise or kick-back do the democrats receive from ACORN?  Further, In a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder, Senator David Vitter argues that ACORN’s alleged misdeeds warrant a Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) investigation into its business practices. “The recent reports and video footage of ACORN workers from various cities and states giving ‘how-to’ instructions on carrying out crimes, ranging from violating numerous immigration laws to tax fraud, warrants an immediate RICO investigation into ACORN,” Vitter said in his letter.

It seems Federal Judge Nina Gershon restored federal funding to ACORN by issuing a temporary injunction against the congressional funding ban. Judge Gershon is a Bill Clinton appointee who believes to deprive ACORN of our taxpayer dollars is unconstitutional. Her ruling could be permanent when this case goes to trial. Congress has voted to strip ACORN of federal funding in the past,  but the CRS indicated that courts “may have sufficient basis” to rule that unconstitutional. The Constitution bans “bills of attainder,” laws that specifically target one group or person.

Yes, liberal Judge Gershon is one in the same who ruled in 1999, New York Mayor, Rudy Giuliani had no right to stop city funding of the Brooklyn Museum of Art when it exhibited the Virgin Mary decorated with elephant dung.

What’s good for us isn’t the same set of rules for OBAMACORN.
