Title: With No Fanfare, Senate Hits ACORN, Again

With no fanfare and no roll call vote, not even a speech -- the Senate on Tuesday unanimously approved an amendment by Sen. Mike Johanns, R-NE, that bars any funds from the Defense spending bill from going to ACORN.

Johanns promised to introduce a similar amendment on every spending bill Congress considers this year, until the chamber takes up his broader bill that would impose permanent ban on ACORN receiving any federal funds.

It took the Senate a little over one minute to consider the measure.

They need to strip them of their tax-exempt status and be done with it.

Good move. Hopefully they'll be starved of taxpayer funding soon enough. Financial institutions are beginning to stop paying protection money to them as well.
