The House of Representatives has voted to deny funding for ACORN, the left-wing community-organizing group that was caught on video offering tax advice to undercover journalists posing as pimps and prostitutes. The bill passed by a margin of 345-75 vote, with Democrats accounting for all of the “no” votes.

Today’s vote to defund ACORN comes on the heels of the release of  another video made in the organization’s San Diego offices, in which an ACORN employee, who claims to be a lawyer, offers advice on trafficking underage girls, for the purpose of prostitution, to the U.S. through Mexico.

 

Now to the burning question…which Democrats see fit to continue funding an organization whose employees give advice on skirting our tax laws and seem perfectly at ease with child trafficking and the sex trade?

OK, Let's Do The Math

This is good news to this Blue Dog (D). I, in a comment posted earlier today, called for swift action by (D)s to give ACORN to boot.

75 of 256 (D)s in the USHOR did not chose to do that. That leaves around 181 who did chose to do that.

There are 41 voting members of the Congressional Black Caucus. That would make up the majority of the 75 votes against.

There is Dennis Kucinich...well, Dennis, what can I say about Dennis.

No members of the Blue Dog Caucus failed me.
