Say Bye Bye To Tax Payer Funding ACORN

"The Senate voted to cut off ACORN Housing funds following the release of three videotapes that show employees of the activist group advising a "pimp" and "prostitute" on how to break the law. The amendment, offered by Nebraska Republican Sen. Mike Johanns, passed in a vote of 83 to 7 and prohibits the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now from receiving funds from the current Transportation and Housing and Urban Development appropriations bill. It marks the third time this year Republicans tried to block the organization from federal funding."

Well this is another nail in the ACORN coffin.

The Senators that voted no were:
Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I.
Roland Burris, D-Ill.
Dick Durbin, D-Ill.
Bernie Sanders, D-Vt.
Patrick Leahy, D-Vt.
Bob Casey, D-Pa.
Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y.

The Senators that did not vote were:
Barbara Mikulski, D-Md
Robert Byrd, D-W.Va

Now I wonder why Senator Barbara Mikulski didn't vote. Could it be that she's getting campaign money from ACORN or was she just not there? We won't know in till I'm able to get the full voting results.
