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.
