ACORN And Federal Funding

Below is the text of an email I just sent to my Senators and Congressman (I changed the wording on the second paragraph for my congressman). I don't write them too often. I guess part of me has been worried that if I write them too often they'll dismiss me as extreme.
I guess I'm not worried about that so much any more.
I also sent a separate note to Senator Feingold, thanking him for his recent decision to vote against Cap and Trade.

"I am one of your many constituents who is disgusted by the recent, and still developing, ACORN scandal. While I have always been skeptical of this highly partisan organization, the recent videos are over the top.

I understand that there is an amendment on the Senate floor to block any further money to ACORN. That is a good first step, and I urge you to vote for the amendment.

However, that is not nearly enough. There need to be Congressional investigations into how ACORN has used taxpayer funds, and about the allegations of voter fraud associated with ACORN. There needs to be assurances that this organization will not receive funding under any different names.

While I understand that there may have been legitimate reasons for originally funding this type of organization, there is no reason that the blatantly corrupt ACORN should receive federal funding.

Please take these concerns seriously, and help me regain trust in my elected representatives."
