Today, the House of Representatives voted 345-75 to pass the Defund ACORN Act, which I am an original co-sponsor of. The amendment would prohibit any organization, including ACORN, that has been indicted for violations of State or federal election laws, or that employs an individual who has been indicted for violations of state or federal election laws, from accessing federal taxpayer dollars.
This is a small victory for the American taxpayers in the ongoing battle to stop the federal funding of ACORN. However, we cannot give up the fight until all government ties to this corrupt organization are severed. As your representative in Congress, I will continue to fight to make sure this organization and others like it stop receiving your hard-earned tax dollars.
