BREAKING: House Votes to Cut All Funds to ACORN

September 17, 2009 - 11:49 am - by Ed Driscoll

Reported by Big Government, appropriately enough:

Rep. Darrell Issa  (R-CA) offered the Defund-ACORN bill to the Student Loans bill.  The House vote convincingly to cut ALL federal funds to ACORN.

Vote: 345 to 75.  Complete results here.

Developing…

And that’s on the heels of the Senate’s earlier vote to cut funding. Although at least one blogger believes, “Still think any such provisions will vanish in the final versions of the bills.”

Michelle Malkin has the list of the no-voters, and cautions, “Just the beginning. Far from the end.” Rep. Issa adds, “The battle, however, to deny ACORN federal funding is not over until the President signs the bill into law.”

Update: Given the odious bill this defunding is coupled with, Accuracy In Media dubs it a “Hollow Victory Against ACORN.”

    Too bad you can’t impeach someone for violating RICO. By the time the hearings were held – after 2010 – Bambi might be out on his ear.
