Report Finds Acorn Broke No Laws
By JANIE LORBER

The controversial community organizing group Acorn has not broken any laws in the last five years, according to a Congrssional Research Service report released Tuesday evening.

The report, requested by Representative John Conyers, Democrat of Michigan, said that federal agencies, mainly the Departments of Justice and Housing and Urban Development, have awarded money to the group 48 times since 2005. But, in none of those instances did Acorn violate the terms of their funding, the report said.

1. I'm sure that FoxNews will broadcast the findings of this report 24/7 for the next few weeks
You know, just like they did when the "story" first broke a few weeks back...

4. Thanks....I've been waiting for this!
Sadly, this exhoneration won't make the news like the unfounded claims did.

THAT'S why I don't believe in justice. It so rarely happens when poor folk are concerned.
