As expected the OLM not reporting story. Maybe that's WHY they are the
Old Liberal Media and have been discarded to the scrap heap of
history.


WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A poverty-rights group that has drawn the ire of
conservatives suffered another setback in Washington on Monday when the
U.S. Senate voted overwhelmingly to deny it access to federal housing funds.


The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, which helps
poor people fight foreclosures and fix tax problems, has received more
than $53 million in U.S. funds since 1994, but conservatives' charges of
widespread fraud have begun to impact its reputation in the capital.


Last week, the U.S. Census Bureau told the group it did not want its
help boosting participation in next year's census.


The Senate measure, which passed 83 to 7 in the Democratic-led chamber,
was included in a must-pass spending bill that funds housing and
transportation programs for the fiscal year that starts October 1.

This is just *excellent* news.


Damn, that will put a crimp in liberal voter fraud. What a damn shame.


Isn't this the group that Obama was associated with, and helped boost
his voter numbers? Now they are exposed as criminals? I wish someone
would have rasied the flag back during the election.


Plenty of people did, but like the 75000 demonstrators in Washington
over the weekend, the elite media didn't like it so did not mention it.
That's why most of the EM is going down the tubes, nobody trusts them to
deliver any news, just propaganda straight from Code Pink, ACORN, SEIU,
and the DNC...
