ACORN & The Legislature

On the day the US House votes against continued ACORN funding, the PA House does exactly the opposite. The entire Democrat caucus voted against a motion introduced by State Rep Steven Barrar (R-Chester/Delaware Counties).

Why?

Well… because they are Democrats of course.

But there’s more to the story.

There’s another bill introduced months ago by again by Barrar that’s being held up in a committee.

to investigate the activities of the controversial Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now — ACORN — is stalled in the powerful State Government Committee.

The chairman, State Representative Babette Josephs, a Philadelphia Democrat, is a member of ACORN.

Are the two connected? No, not at all. Not at all.

In a related topic, the New York Post has a basic history of ACORN. In addition to the hooker advice, the tax cheating and the border smuggling, they pretty much look like a shake down operation.

Oh yeah, the voter fraud. Of course.

*In 1998 an ACORN employee was arrested for falsifying voter registration forms in Arkansas. The next year, authorities in Philadelphia confiscated hundreds of registration forms because one ACORN employee wrote them all. This was the first of many voter registration frauds that ACORN would be accused of in subsequent years.

I wonder if State Rep Josephs know anything about that.
