ACORN is about to realize its worst nightmare, as today,  the U.S. House voted 345-75 to completely defund ACORN. The vote comes just days after the outbreak of undercover investigations led by documentary maker James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles, as well as an overwhelming Senate vote to cut all federal housing funds to ACORN. ACORN receives a large portion of its funding from the U.S. Government, with claims that they were potentially to receive billions from the new stimulus bills that were recently passed.

According to Boston.com, the following statement was quoted by House Republican Eric Cantor:

“ACORN has violated serious federal laws, and today the House voted to ensure that taxpayer dollars would no longer be used to fund this corrupt organization. All federal ties should be severed with ACORN, and the FBI should investigate its activity,” Representative Eric Cantor, the No. 2 House Republican said in a statement. “This united Republican effort to defund ACORN is a victory for the rule of law and taxpayers across the country.”

The Senate only voted to defund one portion of funding, to be clear, this was a vote to completely sever Federal funding to ACORN.

More to come….
