Jeremy Scahill explains why a small group of Democratic lawmakers are pushing back against efforts to cut off funding to ACORN. If ACORN is targeted for fraud and abuse of federal funds, military contractors, drug companies, and a long list of corporations that continue to receive massive federal contracts despite well documented wrong doing should be next. A new act introduced by Minnesota Democrat Betty McCollum in response to the Defund ACORN Act is titled the "Against Corporations Organizing to Rip-off the Nation Act of 2009." You can find out more in Scahill's article in this week's issue of the Nation.
