Title: ACORN – 50 More Days Without Federal Funds

On Thursday, the United States House of Representatives passed a continuing resolution funding the Federal Government through December 18th.  The continuing resolution was passed as part of the behemoth Interior-Environment Appropriations conference report.

A continuing resolution is a stop-gap provision which allows the government to continue its operations until Congress can determine the next year’s appropriations.  The actions taken today merely extended the expiration date of the resolution which went into effect on October 1st.

By extending the existing continuing resolution Congress has continued to deprive ACORN and its affiliates of federal funds until December 18th.

Yes, keep slightly delaying it 'til it falls out of the majority of the public's conscience. Then, start secretly feeding the beast again with meniscule riders in legislative bills.
