The answer is tax payer dollars should not be going to voter registration companies... It's unconstitutional, but when your talking about 2 million your looking at something so insignificant in perspective to our foreign policy and departmental spending... we print trillions and worry over millions
Why is this group so involved in voting anyway? Why are we handing out money that has been barrowed from China . Tell everyone in government to just stop spending and spending. I can't believe the Chinese are still loaning. How will we ever pay them back?
Who are kidding other than yourself? The ACORN spokesperson could not identify ONE Republican candidate ACORN endorsed...It was a proven fact whether you choose to believe it or not that ACORN supports only Dems even though it is paid for by tax dollars and I dont want my money going to them it isnt an argument if you like them give them your money not mine without a choice
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
State laws require the submission of the registration forms — faulty or not. ACORN flagged all questionable forms prior to turning them in. Why the accusations Ms. Bachmann?
Your district is the highest in mortgage forclosures in your state, yet you are concentrating on making a name for yourself on FauxNews.
Some of the stuff you spit out of your mouth makes you look beyond stupid.
Where is the fairness of someone paying for a political organization, such as ACORN, via Tax money, when that Organization may not represent your politcal views ? That is totolitarian and orwellian. Thus I say reject ACORN. However, just the idea of a government run political lobbying organization just seems odd in general.
Acorn is independant. Your problem is that they mostly register poor people that are more prone to vote for a democrat candidate because usually higher revenue people are allready registered.
You just dont want the democrat to win more election.
Unfortunatly for you, there are more democrats in the US than republicans. Too bad too bad
I don't care how many Democrats, or the income level of the people ACORN recruits. My problem with ACORN is that it is not Constitutional and potentially dangerous. OK ?
The point here is that an independent company ACORN paid bonuses for signatures on voter registration. Those registered start with names like Big Bird and number in the hundreds of thousands. Then a sister organization SEIU provides the Obama campaign with 33 million. Obama then provides ACORN with 8.5 billion dollars when in the previous year they only received 53 million from 1994-2008.
Whether if it was McCain, Obama, Paul or Clinton it should be highly investigated.
Rep Bachmann
please keep up the fight, I wish you were my congressman from florida

Judging by all the thumbs down on your comments you are loaded with fail, declare victory at Clown College a place in which you have a Masters Degree.
I have better things to do then try and help a blind sheep like you to see any sort of light...go away to a "yes we can with ACORN" rally

ACORN is only interested in getting Democrats elected.....that is NOT Democracy
THE74MALDITO 2 years ago 4
And where does this come from ? So you say that before they register someone they ask him how he will vote...
Take your information for something else than Fox News. That will change your perspective.
They have poor and middle income register to vote. The vote can be republican or democrat (but there is more chance that it will be democrat)
Guess what, if the GOP was more for low and middle income people they would get vote instead being the party of the rich white christian racists.

From what orifice do you take this information from ?
Acorn register voter, it is then asked to flag bogus registration and send them to the national registration bureau.
Voters are not asked if they are republican or democrat or independant.
What you dont want is your tax money used for a better democracy.
How about Jed Bush who canceled vote rights for hundreds if not thousand of low income black for no other reason than supposed to vote for democrats ?

Can you point me to the bill that says specificaly that ACORN will receive 8.5 billion dollars ?
I think you will spend a lot of time to find this information because it exists only in the twisted mind of the GOP.
There is no such thing in any bill ! Try to take your information from real facts and not from distorted informations.
