To add to the list of outrageous earmarks in Obama's fiscal 2011 budget, it appears left-wing activist groups including ACORN, the embezzlement-prone, voter-registration-fraud-plagued community organizing group, are eligible to receive up to $3.99 billion in taxpayer-backed slush money.
The funds would come indirectly from the Community Development Block Grant, one of the Department of Housing and Urban Development's longest-running programs.

The grant money goes to state and local governments. ACORN and other groups can apply for part of it directly from a local municipality in which an arm of their group is active.
"In that sense, ACORN gets lots of money from the CDBG program--but it is nearly impossible to track it because HUD doesn't track all the money" after it has gone to local and state governments, said Matthew Vadum, a senior editor at Capital Research Center. "Nobody knows how much ACORN, which has hundreds of different affiliates, has actually received over the years in CDBG funding."
In the past ACORN has also even received matching funds "from other sources" when it has gotten CDBG money, Vadum said. According to a 1997 Arkansas Democrat-Gazette article, ACORN added $250,000 in matching funds to a $50,500 contract the ACORN Fair Housing Program received "to help low- and moderate-income families buy homes."

ReplyDeleteAttention B. Obama and ACORN, You are being watched and Your Chickens are surely going to come home to Roost.
ReplyDeleteThe corruption of this administration (and congress) is outrageous and unbelievable. They are a disgrace and and embarrassment. America is the laughing stock of the world. We MUST get rid of the whores in congress and put in people with good sense this November. That will tie the kings hands for his last two years. Only after his riegn has ended do we stand any chance of recovery, IF we can survive until then.
