No ACORN Investigation

Today Senator Conyers decided not to launch an investigation into ACORN. Great move senator. Way to cave to pressure. ACORN is facing charges of voter fraud in 14 different states and they have a history of embezlement. But why would we want to investigate them? Instead of that let's give them more money. Yes, that sounds like a brilliant idea.

When Conyers announced that he would not be investigating ACORN what he was really saying was that he could be bought and that ACORN and the other senators on the committee had paid his price. There is no excuse for not investigation this organization.

If ACORN were a publicly traded company instead of a supposedly not for profit group, then they would be all over this in a heartbeat. They'd already have fired the CEO and started congressional hearings and an independent council for review. And the federal government would also own at least 51% of the stock. But instead, it's an organization that gives big campaign contributions and works to get out the vote for them. So does the integrity, or even the legality, of their process really matter? I guess not. We've already heard from strong armed debt holders in the Chrysler mess that Obama is the most "ends justify the means" person ever. Well, this is definitely a case of the ends justifying the means, at least as far as congress is concerned.

This display of congressional corruption is shocking in it's total lack of discretion. Not only are they not going to investigate, but they are pushing hard to give them more of our money.

Write your congressmen and demand the investigation into ACORN and to stop any possible funding.
