Treat Felon Corporations Like ACORN

Congresswoman Betty McCollum is proposing that Congress treat corporations convicted of a felony the same way it treated ACORN. Her bill says corporations convicted of a felony would not be eligible for government contracts for 5 years, could not make campaign contributions for 5 years and would be limited in the amount of lobbying they could do. Rep. McCollum talks about her bill with The UpTake's Mike McIntee and notes that there were already 345 votes in Congress for defunding an organization that hadn't even been convicted of anything yet.

Hey Betty B. Isn't this all Bushs' fault. By the way Betty B. How much money did ACORN donate to you last election?

Any corrupt entity should be exempt from receiving public money or working in partnership with government.

Corruption is rampant in our time. Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, Conservatives and Socialists should all unite on this issue. Lets clean up America!

I think that should include corporations like the American Police Force, that is now in Hardin Montana. If you didn't have a friend lock for reseaving messages, I could have sent you the "captains" criminal record.
