Coming off the news we covered last Friday that the Census Bureau was severing ties with the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now for the 2010 census, the Senate yesterday voted overwhelmingly to prohibit Housing and Urban Development grants from going to the group, which bills itself as “the nation's largest community organization of low and moderate income families."

Eighty-three senators voted for an amendment from Sen. Mike Johanns, R-Neb., to ban the funds, with seven senators voting against the amendment and nine not voting.

Johanns noted that ACORN is under investigation for voter registration fraud in several states, and also mentioned recent videos from two young conservative journalists posing as a pimp and a prostitute and secretly videotaping ACORN employees who seeming offer to help them secure housing as well as other advice. The tapes were first posted on Biggovernment.com and received much coverage on Fox News Channel.

After tapes from the Baltimore and Washington, DC, ACORN offices became the "tipping point" for the Census Bureau last week, yesterday a new undercover film emerged from an ACORN office in New York City.

    • Thanks for all the help Glenn Beck. We owe you big time.

      First you get the Communist Van Jones tossed, now you went to work on Acorn and got their funds dropped.
      Let this be a lesson to all the communists out there, We are watching you and we will find you and we will expose you to the real American people.
