Senate Kills Amendment Blocking ACORN From Receiving Funding in Obama Youth Brigades Bill...
From Weasel Zippers:
This is the bill that will create an army of very well funded Obama-style community activists to push his far-left agenda ($5.7 billion for 250K people)...
WASHINGTON – The U.S. Senate killed an amendment Thursday offered by Sen. David Vitter, R-La., that would have prohibited federal volunteer funds from going to the community group ACORN and its affiliates.
Vitter singled out the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, a nationwide community organization of low- and moderate-income people. He laid emphasis on the fact that group members have been arrested for fraudulent voter registration.
Vitter contended that no charitable group with a political arm should receive the volunteer funding. “At the heart of this debate is whether this new federal bureaucracy would, in effect, politicize charitable activity around the country, which we certainly do not want,” Vitter said.
The amendment was offered to the National Service Act being considered by the chamber.
The bill is aimed at providing $5.7 billion to aid 250,000 volunteers across the country in the arenas of health care, energy, environment and education.
