Stop All Federal Funding of ACORN

[ECwashr]

Boehner is full of shit. He's like everyone else, stuck up USURPER Obama's ass. Barry, Mr ACORN obama, IS STILL FUNDING ACORN! HE IS ACORN!! HE TRAINED ACORN, HE WAS AN ACORN ATTORNEY!! Community Organizer, what a crock of shit! Thats someone who is trying to destroy the system, cout da ta, a TRAITOR! You know who was also a community organizer? Joe Stalin, yep, for Lenin, look it up. Obama and Holder should be ARRESTED for handing AK-47s to Mexican drug lords!! Barry biggest TRAITOR in US Hist

[WilhelmHelmut]

why should federal funding be granted to an organization that performs illegal actions?...obama has been exposed as the biggest scumbag ever in office and msnbc still covers up for this corrupt illegal alien...he listened to revered wright all his life...that's all i needed not to vote for him

[durhamdf]

@WilhelmHelmut Dude who gives a fuck they are out of bussiness, and anyways the fraud investigations found no evidence of institutionalized fraud. Only a few cases of low level employees committing fraud. If that is you logic, then we need to close down every single bank and insurance group in the world!

[Macinndrew]

Boner is clearly trying to RUIN the America Way of Life.

[MrJamesL100]

the problem with him here is that on one side he's all fiscal, there is also a video of him virtually in tears begging Congress to pass Paulson's version of the Wall St. bailout.

[maciindrew]

Obama in tears? Yeah right!

It's good the bailout passed... It saved our butts, plus we made $10 Billion in profit in the process.

[MrJamesL100]

Boehner was the one in tears begging for the Wall St. bailout while on the same token is so concerned about ACORN.

[maciindrew]

Boner is a despicable human, never have been sure why he and others were concerned about a community group that only gets $3.5 million a year in fed funding. It doesn't make sense.

[MrJamesL100]

let us not forget that our tax dollars pay for his tanning bed. YUCK

[maciindrew]

yep, and his skin cancer treatment in 10 years... sad...

[unclelight13]

Boner is big business's nigger!

[blackbeard456]

Dear Congressmen

Acorn has been involved in more than just voter fraud. lets try Real Estate fraud in New Orleans and federal grant fraud. I call the website you mentioned here and left a detailed message with a staff member of how the 3 attorney's at acorn set me up on phony rape charges in 1999. Don't let us down prosecute them all

[ShaktipatSeer]

Fuck you john boner

[MrEmesis]

Agreed. Stop all funding. This organization is and has been corrupt for many years.

[Tnoy34rt]

Yeah, but Acorn only gets $3.5 million a year, so it's not worth worrying about. But it it's funny to watch morons like Boner get all worked up by this tiny organization.

[fredrickdl]

@Tnoy34rt

Try 3.8 billion dollars in the 2011 proposed budget Troy. Try researching it yourself for all the information on making and intelligent choice next time Troy.

[Macinndrew]

that is $3.8 Billion for ALL community groups, the most Acorn ever got is $3.5 "Million" in one year... not "Billion"...

Learn to check facts before you post, Thanks!

[Macinndrew]

Acorn is an excellent organization that does a lot of good for our country and communities, you'd have to be a Fox News viewer to disagree with that fact.

Yes, they could get another $3.5 "million" for their efforts to make the world a better place... but to send me links saying they could get $3.9 BILLION is just plain misinformation.

So step it up a notch, people like me see right through your deceit and dishonesty, so we quickly expose your hate towards our country every time...

[fredrickdl]

@Macinndrew

At least $53 million in federal funds have gone to ACORN activists since 1994, and the controversial group could get up to $8.5 billion more tax dollars despite being under investigation for voter registration fraud in a dozen states.

Read more at the Washington Examiner: I am keenly aware of the irony in how a military veteran as myself can be presumed an American hater by free people with little minds. Where do you find your 3.5 million facts Macinndrew

[Macinndrew]

I think you are bad at math AND logic, if a community group gets around $3.5 "million" per year on average, (last 15 years, $53 million total) how in the WORLD could they get $8.5 "billion" in year 16? maybe you mean $8.5 "million" but obviously not "BILLION"!

And Acorn isn't being investigated for any voter fraud. Yes, some employees tried to make extra cash by making up info, but never ONCE was there a vote cast because of that.

Ah, the Examiner is "right wing" so they are clearly dishonest.

[SATANECRONOMICUS]

Hey rep. Shut the fuck up. our tax dollars our wasted on your republican bullshit. nuff said.

[jsmithingand]

ah!, wearing your hate on your sleeve isn't that attractive.

I know let's go after the system and not the corruption that will keep the money flowing:)

[broadjumper1]

Nice tan there Boner...been hitting the tanning beds extra hard lately huh? I mean I realize it's SOOOO hard to avoid looking pasty while you're in Washington, maybe your staff had one brought in special for ya...

[mueygringo]

@broadjumper1 Lets fac it BOYJUMPER if that were a boner you would have it covered with your lips! BAhahahahahahhaha

[roscoe85cj]

News Flash ! .. Harry Reid and Nazi Pelosi trying to block investigation of ACORN

pathetic ! ... add Reid and Pelosi to the list of Dems or their political subdivisions to be investigated.

[kennny732]

ACORN smashes down conservative...they are the good ones

[jmspflw]

House votes 345-75 to defund ACORN!!

[gamerx765]

What were our tax dollars already given to Acorn exactly used for?? Investigate that!

[buyford1]

Good job today Mr. Boehner!

[CommentaryUSA]

After we defund ACORN, we should get Congress to give back all their undeserved raises over the last decade. Why should people who have bankrupted this country be rewarded with a raise.?

Join the Constitution Party.

[eelzen]

John Boehner does not speak for the American people.

[Mccoins]

yeah he doesn't (sarcasm)

the American People just love the WONDERFUL work that ACORN is doing, they love funneling their tax dollars into a criminal organization.

Boy isn't America great? And aren't those damned stupid Republicans just so racist for wanting to defund a organization that is only there to help and serve the *cough* SLUTS and drug dealers use our money to buy homes?

[eelzen]

Yep. GW Bush and the GOP did a heck of job. To bad McCain wasn't elected. My son would be off to Iran care free of voted registration fraud. Win win country first...ahem.

[Mccoins]

eelzen, this isn't a polotical issue with ACORN, its a moral issue. I don't care what god you believe in, if you use taxpayer money (which was intended to provide functionality to the state), to fund criminal and vile activities, you should be in prison for the rest of your life. I don't think anyone with a level head would approve of anyone selling 13-14 year old girls into the slave trade. Use some common sense.

[eelzen]

Mccoins. Faith in a god and morals having nothing to do with each other. I wish they did.  If ACORN or someone in ACORN broke the law, they should go to jail. But it's small potatoes next to the Bush/Cheney immorality and law breaking that Boehner and the GOP rubber stamped for eight years.

[Mccoins]

you sound as if your justifying ACORNS crimes. I am not denying the Bush admins extensive corruption, dont label me a right winger haha. I'm an independent voter and I'm proud to have broken from the left-right paradigm. I love how narrow-minded leftists and rightists think that simply because they don't agree with someone they must be of the opposite political party, it just shows how much more divided our country has become. When people commit crimes, we point fingers and get off track.

[Mccoins]

neither party represents the people, it's all lobbying and special interests, from people foreign and domestic. Its a shame we don't have laws to make sure we don't have money-powers, bankers, unions, and other interest putting their puppets into power. And that goes for everyone. Try voting for an independent, they have less risk of being bought and paid for. Democrats claim to represent democracy, but its just as bad as the repubs with the corruption, just from different sources.

[jmspflw]

yeah, but one party is far worse than the other.

[Mccoins]

we need to stop giving politicians excuses, or they will become more belligerent and corrupt. Its time to clean house, stop voting for the two mega-parties, or this ridiculousness will never end.

[StupidExtravert]

I like everything you said, mccoins.

[Austinbit]

EXACTLY!

I am 3rd party, however I vote republican due to the fact that:

1) Democrats defy common sence

2) A third party never stands a chance to the Republicans and Communists in office.

[StupidExtravert]

Yes, and lots of conservatives are very angry about that, too.

[ReadmanJ]

Oh noes! the Minorities and Poor People are registering to vote!! Head for the hills people!!!!. What utter garbage.

[flyboymd82]

I'm behind you John! It makes me SICK to think out tax dollars go to this corrupt organization while I drive on streets that look like the USAF bombed them!

The American people are getting FED UP with Gov't corruption!

[bucs2921]

ONE MORE DIME in tax money for ACORN and there will be HELL TO PAY!!!

[GreatOneFan]

Stop funding for ACORN now!

[HYDRASHOQ]

the ACORNs must rot!

[ScrantonTeaParty]

Thank You Leader Boehner! You have been the one man that has stood his ground. I respect you and trust you. Hopefully if Sarah Palin doesn't run for President in 2012, we will have the opportunity to vote for you! Keep up the great work.

[EveryBigotHatesObama]

We all can hope for the GOP to run some total utter loser like Boehner in 2012, driving the last nail into their own coffin. This man is so clearly bought and paid for by the special interests feeding off Americans, every time he opens his fool mouth another couple thousand people desert the GOP in disgust! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK MISTER BONEHEAD!

[Slainte2C]

Thank you Representative Boehner. It is certainly time to make certain this organization is defunded. Also we an investigation by the justice department.

I am afraid these people will just change the name and keep on going.

[HRqrtrhrslvr]

John Boehner, you have my support 100%. Here's hoping you will be running for President in the next election - and you will have my family's vote!!

[sandijay4]

This is NOT a Democrat or Republican issue! This is a taxpayer issue! Taxpayers need to get involved and get the corrupt radicals out of government and defund them.

[GoldenFireReviews]

So glad to hear that the GOP Leader is taking a stand and not putting up with these criminal ACORN people anymore. I saw this problem arising during the election and I am so happy to hear one political party is taking action to boot them out! AMEN!

[Txman1996]

Get my tax Dollars away from ACORN. ACORN = Organized Crime.

[evramos70]

Boehner for Prez!

[rose473]

I am so glad to see this. They are making

a mockery out of the US government.

They act like children putting out their

videos to "punish" someone that doesn't

agree with them---Rep Wilson was telling the truth, but they've got to try to ruin him.

My father was a democrat all of his life-

but this party is unrecognizable anymore.

They all are so interested in how much

power they can have.

[hildayo]

Thank you Mr. Congressman Bohener - Full support from me and many others!!!

[computerpurple]

Good move House Member John Boehner

[computerpurple]

Hello StopSocialismUSA. As Britney Spears sings now so do i "OOPS I DID IT AGAIN" Thank you for the reminder. I feel foolish.

[Nightrunner529]

Boehner will be called a "racist". Who cares anymore? Black racists are calling EVERYONE a racist. The word means nothing anymore. Everyone who isn't black is a racist lol. BUT we now know the scam so throw it right back in their face.

[bigtex501]

How much health care insurance could we buy for $8,500,000,000.00 for those that TRULY need insurance? If obamer REALLY wants to give people insurance that have no insurance, then let's give THEM this money from the $787 Billion "stupidlus" package... instead of this corrupt bunch called ACORN!

But obamer would RATHER give the money to ACORN? Do the Democrats REALLY need the "ACORN REGISTERED" dead people to vote for them? So the Democrats loose 7.8 Million votes from the "dead"!

[memama2]

...start counting the "housing" that WE THE PEOPLE are being scammed into paying rent for or PURCHASING? with our own money and it is headed and ran by = GRIFTERS!...........it made me sick to see the rotten inner core of ACORN and the pure evil of people listening to enslavment of children as sex toys! And WITH ACORN'S HELP!..........and the SEVEN Senators who voted to keep funding ACORN? = Do they have NO SHAME? ......and Obama? he is just a little nut from the ACORN tree who was ONE OF THEM!

[rationalnow]

You're right memama2, the ACORN scandal is just a small part of the vast corrupt hypocrisy that controls the Democrat party! The party that holds themselves to NO standards of morals or decency, while at the same time holding the Republican party to a standard of perfection!

An example of this was the vindictive, insulting partisan display on the House floor today, issuing a resolution of disapproval to Rep. Joe Wilson. An honorable veteran and patriot who has served our country well.

[memama2]

rationalnow = they booed and hissed at George Bush and Obama spent part of that Speech?=(SKIT) ......telling lies about Conservatives and Republicans and saying we are ?(game playing)? .........well bless my pea-pickin heart! I think that the only game player on that stage was ~playin~ with a few cards misssing from his DECK! I did not hear a word about any resource being = FROM OUR TAX; TAX; TAXES! Obama is = playing games! To think that we can not see THROUGH his = LYING BY OMMISION! ..lol!

[SHAMSHAM1090]

ACORN should never had been funded

from the start

STOP the corruption

Keep it up Boehner

[Dukegoober]

I heard somebody talk about throwing the race card. Is it that all Liberals think that if you simply disagree with Obama, or anyone of a race that is not yours, you are throwing a race card, or race baiting?

I think Obama is a crook. Guess what? I'm black! So please, go screw yourself. Race baiter!

[IreneNY2]

I don't believe this is about race either. I think race relations are worse then they have ever been because of the POLITICIANS not because of American's. I think this fight is based on our Constitution and the very moral fiber of this country. JMO

[MrMindfucker]

It would so cool if Mr.Boehner would be our next President!

[unojune1]

I hope you guys add in the ACORN affiliates...

[memama2]

unojune1 = there at least 1200 more "offices" like the ones on these tapes AND did you see the boarded over funeral home in Louisiana that is used as an address for hundreds of checks with multiple "Business Names" ..& a reporter saw a women go in & come out with some stuff & then RUN when approached by = reporter who had STAKED out this building? ...ACORN uses so many aliases= that that number may be the TIP OF THE ICEBERG!.......hmmm...who to ask? hmmm OH! OBAMA USED 2 be their LEGAL COUNSEL!

[Dreadkid08]

IMAC!!!! :D

[Auggie56]

And we want our money back !

[Republican4U2Envy]

ACORN is the biggest JOKE ever. They are so currupt, it is beyond disgusting.

[MrHelldogger]

John you remind me of my Rotti when I throw the ball, he watches it hit the ground & then jumps on it. This fucking story is 10 yrs old & now that a couple of fuckin' kids have uncovered it you want jump on the band wagon. Limpus Erectus! Vote 3rd Party.

[Dukegoober]

The fact is, we got kids doing the work the main stream media should have been doing.....10 years ago! Like you said. You sound as though you're against shutting down this corrupt organization?

So better late than never, right? Why would anyone have a problem shutting down an illegal, "using your tax money illegal," by the way, operation? If Obama would have said what Boehner just said, what would your reaction have been? We all know, of course. You'd give the "liar" all the credit.

[jmspflw]

Right on John. Acorn is corrupt to the core.

[JPK7777777]

Awesome! Thank you House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH)!

Here is another huge concern.

Will we be mandated to take the potentially deadly H1N1 Swine Flu Vaccines w/ Squalene?

Laws are in place and being put in place.

See my page for critical related information to include who may stand to profit from the vaccines.

See my page for solutions and help get the word out ASAP! Thanks.

[eliryu]

Acorn is a terrible org; SEIU is on the same path of corruption

[BRADMAXXX]

Shit,we have one sitting in the Big chair.

Stick to your guns boys,wish you would've thought of that years ago,we wouldnt be here now.

[pjrroe]

jaijoedougwatt - seriously? Grow up.

[bab8649]

Joe Wilson has every right to refuse congress...he was not the first and won't be the last to say what he feels.....great timing!

[harmony94]

I've finally seen something I like about a politician... he's got a Mac.

[ErikNikolai]

He's using a Mac? Weird, I didn't realize he was a hippie. ;-)

[jaijoedougwatt]

I'm watching you try to cover for racist Joe Wilson on the House floor right now.

You have no shame, do you Mr. Boehner?

[veriteez]

jaijoedougwatt- Again, what makes Joe Wilson a racist? Joe Wilson apologized already. But Obama DID LIE!!!! I wouldn't of apologized at all. Amendments were struck down by the Democrats. Obama and the democrats need to apologize. They, have no shame.

[americanvaluesonline]

Wow, another liberal throwing the racist label on an opponent because they have no facts to sustain their position, imagine that! Your an original sir..

[jimbo2931]

Wow, using the race card. Real original.

[Dukegoober]

I didn't notice any race card being played here. Please explain to this stupid hick?

[klrdotorg]

Unfortunately, John, a great many people have not seen those reports, because very little info has been reported, aside from Fox news.

But I hope you guys are successful in your attempts to expose this rancid organization.

[EurekasCastleQueen]

Acorn got Obama elected,, corrupted then, corrupted now. Salute to Congress Rep and House Leader John Boehner and of course the attention Glenn beck is giving this community *action* false group.. 5/5*'s and thanks for sharing .. passing it on..

[Rhiannon003]

keep going after corruption IN BOTH PARTIES, and the cavalry will be there for you

[USoSilly2Me]

Great Job..! Now Let's Work On The One Who TRAINED THEM..!! : )

[ScrantonTeaParty]

Excellent idea!

[rationalnow]

Stopping the funding of ACORN is a great start, next hopefully, a full scale investigation and the shutting down of this corrupt organization!

[GreatOneFan]

Rational, that's the best idea I've heard all year!

[theanswersofnwo3]

Let ACORN Fail

[kmg501]

Why should ANY organization like this one be funded by tax payer dollars? WHY? Even if they were 100% above reproach I still have to ask why they get any funding at all. They are a political special interest organization. They should be completely responsible for their own funding. Why the hell are tax payers held hostage to these special interests?

This is exactly the kind of bureaucratic criminal collusion that us Americans are SICK & TIRED OF. Pay your own god damn bills you verminous scum.

[chattingcat]

Great job, Congressman. Thank you=)

[SpasticSasha]

its about time
