ACORN defunded only through October?
huffingtonpost.comIn an apparent attempt to deprive the GOP of a club to beat them with, House Democrats have re-defunded ACORN in a resolution that hits the House floor Friday. The bill, a continuing resolution, funds the federal government through October 31st.
"None of the funds made available by this joint resolution or any prior Act may be provided to the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN ), or any of its affiliates, subsidiaries, or allied organizations," reads section 163 in HR 2918.
No money would have been available to ACORN, a community organizing group, in the resolution anyway. A GOP aide noted, however, that including the language doesn't prevent House Republicans from offering repetitive amendments or motions that would also re-re-defund ACORN. They will also continue to demand a vote on a stand-alone bill to defund the group and make as much noise about it as possible, he added.
