Why Did DHS Just Grant ACORN $997,402?
September, 30, 2009 — nicedeb
Okay….what?!
Sen. David Vitter (R-LA)writing for Big Government:
Earlier this month and despite the public scrutiny over the voter fraud and felony criminal activity associated with ACORN, the Department of Homeland Security went ahead and granted $997,402 to ACORN under the FY 2008 Fire Prevention and Safety Program.
To most people, the timing and the amount of the grant would seem off base, but when you take into account the fact that DHS awarded ACORN–an organization with no clear expertise in fire safety and prevention–a fire prevention and safety grant, it’s just plain offensive.
I don’t think “offensive” is quite strong enough. How about obscene… disgraceful…despicable, vile?
What are they thinking?!
Is it okay to be “outrageously outraged” over something like this?
Vitter wrote to Janet Napolitano, the Secretary of DHS, last week, requesting that she rescind the grant. So far she hasn’t responded.
