Breaking: House Passes Measure to Cut Off All Acorn Funding

Appended to a sweeping student loan bill, there House passed a measure that according to the Wall Street Journal would cut off all Federal funding for Acorn.

The House attached a measure to the student-loan bill ending all federal government funding of the community organizing group Acorn -- the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. The group has long been in the cross hairs of Republicans, but more recently has been accused of widespread fraud and other illegal activities.
Of course, nothing is final until passed by the Senate and signed by the President.
