Our ObamaNation has learned that the Senate has voted 83 to 7 to remove federal funding from ACORN, Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. The Census Bureau has also cut ties with ACORN.
White House Press Secretary Robert 'Ogee' Gibbs stated the President as a former community organizer and team leader of ACORN is committed to seeing that ACORN's federal funds be restored and be allowed to serve in collecting information for the 2010 census. Gibbs added ACORN will always have a seat at the table as long as the President is allowed to serve Americans.
Former Green Czar Van Jones stated ACORN is an important clog in bringing green jobs to the inner city by providing loans to those who have creative business plans involving the hiring of the young and minorities to service the needs of the community.
