9-17-09, Bachus Statement on House Vote To Defund ACORN |
Financial Services Committee Ranking Member Spencer Bachus issued the following statement today after the House of Representatives voted to eliminate federal funding for ACORN, a far left activist group linked to voter registration fraud and other potential criminal activities. During a Financial Services Committee markup on March 11, 2009, Congressman Bachus offered an amendment that included a provision defunding ACORN. The measure was defeated on a straight party-line vote of 27-37. In addition, Congressman Bachus wrote to Chairman Barney Frank on October 14, 2008 requesting committee hearings on alleged abuses of taxpayer dollars by ACORN.
