Firefighters lose large grant to ACORN

From a report at the link below:

Nearly $1 million in Homeland Security funding typically earmarked for fire departments has been awarded to ACORN, despite a clear signal from Congress that it intends to cut off federal funding to the embattled group.

The grant to ACORN's Louisiana office became public on Oct. 2, less than three weeks after the House and Senate voted to cut off ACORN funding.

It was one of only three such grants issued to the state and made up almost 80 percent of the firefighting money earmarked for Louisiana, prompting one of the U.S. senators from the state to demand that the funds be taken back.

ACORN and the Service Employee International Union (SEIU) helped elect Barack Obama.

However, if we had a responsible media, Acorn and the SEIU would damage the Obama administration enough to hurt Democrats in the 2010 elections.
