Senator Gillibrand supports ACORN and prostitutes in vote - seemingly
Written by Michael Vass
So I have to say I am surprised tonight. Not that another ACORN branch has been shown to be just as actively willing to provide criminals with housing paid for by taxpayers (Brooklyn makes 3 and another is expected Tuesday morning), or their efforts to help people defraud the Government. No it was the reaction in the Senate.
Now I say the Senate, because MSNBC, CNN, and all the other major media outlets to my knowledge refuse to cover this news story. Obviously a case of a major organization abusing taxpayer funds (of which some $5 billion in Stimulus money reportedly was expected to be paid to ACORN) on top of their constant voter fraud court cases, is not considered newsworthy to the main media. But the Senate reacted almost as quickly as the U.S. Census on this matter.
Amendment to H.R. 3288: Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010 was voted on today in the Senate. This states
Which makes sense since there seems to be no question of the abuse in that organization.
Of the 90 Senators that were involved in the vote, 83 voted to ensure that not another taxpayer dollar from HR 3288 would be given to ACORN. That’s Democrats and Republicans alike.
But 7 Senators voted in favor of allowing ACORN to give your taxes to criminals – including people that would open a brothel with underage illegal alien girls working as prostitutes in a house next to you.
That is where I am surprised. That in the face of video proof, any Senator would still think such an action was ok. Obviously they aren’t worried about any of the criminals moving into a house near them or their families.
The senators that voted in favor of ACORN, over their constituents, are:
-
Sen. Roland Burris – Democrat - Illinois
Sen. Richard Durbin – Democrat – Illinois
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand – Democrat – New York
Sen. Robert Casey – Democrat – Pennsylvania
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse – Democrat – Rhode Island
Sen. Patrick Leahy – Democrat – Vermont
Sen. Bernard Sanders – Independent – Vermont
Of particular note is Senator Gillibrand. She is one of the senators for NY, and is supposed to represent me and others in the State. Not one person that I know of - other than perhaps a crack dealer - feels that funding brothels, importing illegal aliens, or advocating the use of minors as sex slave is a good thing. Senator Gillibrand obviously does not represent me.
But Senator Gillibrand is up for re-election in 2010. And I hope that in all her political ads and forthcoming speeches she does not forget to mention to the people of New York that she is ok with the above living next door to anyone (except perhaps herself). And I truly hope that during her re-election campaign in 2010 someone asks her why she is ok with this.

[...] prostitution slaves doesn’t seem to bother New York’s Senator Kirsten Gillibrand. She voted against the bill to cut off funding to ACORN. She was joined by seven other senators. And unfortunately, McCain abstained, along with a group [...]

Not only should ACORN have its funding cut off, but there should be an investigation started into the conduct, or lack of it, this group has sunken to. Where has the oversight gone over this organization??? I’m disgusted that any taspayer money should be sent to them!!!

All New Yorkers have an obligation to VOTE GILLIBRAN OUT in 2010! Anyone who votes to misuse taxpayer funds and condones illegal activity has to GO! No one even voted for her, she was APPOINTED! And she does not represent ME, either! Cant help but wonder if she has any young daughters she would like to donate to this prositution ring! She is as bad as SPIZTER!

It’s especially important that Gillibrand hear from NY Democrats who don’t like her vote to support ACORN. As a Democrat, I blogged about it here

I urge all New Yorkers to write or call Gillibrand.
