I'm lovin' it!

Big Government Blog Archive Bachmann Demands Investigation and Suspension of Taxpayer Funding to ACORN

Washington, D.C., Sep 11 -

U.S. Representative Michele Bachmann (MN-06) today requested the U.S. Census Bureau to refrain from partnering with ACORN in light of the numerous additional criminal activities uncovered this week:

“The past three days have brought to light further evidence that ACORN is untrustworthy and not worthy of being a partner for the 2010 census,” said Bachmann. “These additional findings are disturbing and merely solidify my original and long-standing position that an organization with a continuous cloud of suspicion should be banned from receiving taxpayer dollars. So long as this cloud of suspicion hangs over ACORN, I am afraid that its partnership with the Bureau could jeopardize the integrity of the census process and diminish the public’s trust in the Census.”

Bachmann has also requested Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Chairman Barney Frank conduct a congressional investigation into ACORN, its use of tax dollars, and whether it should repay tax dollars already received.

In order to immediately stop taxpayer dollars from funding ACORN, Bachmann is requesting the IRS revoke ACORN’s tax exempt status; the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) halt any current funding; and the HUD Suspension and Debarment Committee suspend any future access to funding until ACORN cleans up its operation.

Good for her!

You know, with all the talk about Sarah Palin running for POTUS in 2012, I can't help but wonder if maybe Michele Bachman will throw her hat into the ring also? Even if she doesn't run for POTUS, she could be a prime veep pick.

I am happpy she made the request. But I just don't trust Pelosi to do a fair investigation. She is deep into the crookery and she is going to fight to keep all the dirt hidden.

I am hoping a reporter will dig deep and follow the money, independent of the government, like Woodward and Bernstein did.
