Ask Your Representatives to Defund Fraud, Waste and Abuse

Two bills have been introduced into the US House of Representatives that we feel you should support and ask your representatives to support also. H.R. 3571 (the Defund ACORN Act), and H.R. 3679, the Against Corporations Organizing to Rip-off the Nation Act of 2009 (ACORN Act).

Sample Letter for Campaign

Subject: Defund Fraud, Waste and Abuse

Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,

I ask that you support HR 3571 and vote for it WITHOUT AMENDMENT. I also ask that you support and vote for HR 3679 to insure that crooks and crooked organizations will no longer be able to defraud the government and waste taxpayers money through abuses of federal contracts.

Sincerely,

Campaign Launched:

Background Information

The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) has been a target for years, with desperate attempts to discredit, disparage and defund their activities in support of poorer communities, and in their attempts to extend the franchise to some who would not otherwise vote in elections.

We, ourselves, do not find ACORN at fault for the illegal taping of their employees and the statements that those employees made. We DO feel that if ACORN is held accountable for actions that they did not take and illegalities that they did not commit, then those in the defense industry and other government contractors that have been CONVICTED of those crimes should likewise be held accountable.

We ask you to contact your representatives and encourage them to support BOTH bills!
