Dear Fellow Conservative,

When forced to go on record by Republicans, Congress overwhelmingly approved a proposal to cut off all federal taxpayer funding from ACORN. Now we have to make sure that bill becomes law.

But while it's good news that most Democrats voted with us to shut off ACORN's stream of tax dollars, the proposal passed as a rider on their costly government takeover of student loans. As long as it's attached to that flawed bill, Democratic leaders can hold it hostage - and go on funneling tax dollars to ACORN.

That's why I hope you'll make an immediate contribution of $25, $50, or $100 and join me in calling on Speaker Pelosi to hold an immediate up-or-down vote on my bill, the Defund ACORN Act.

The quicker we get a stand-alone up-or-down vote on the Defund ACORN Act, the quicker we can get it to the President and signed into law.

The Defund ACORN Act is just one step in multi-layered effort to stop taxpayer financing of leftwing groups and causes. Republicans have also sent a letter to the President urging him to publicly disclose and terminate all taxpayer funding of ACORN.

Since 1994, ACORN has received roughly $53 million in direct federal funding - and that doesn't count all of the money it's likely received from states and local governments via federal block grants.

After receiving pressure from Republicans, both the Census Bureau and the IRS ended their relationships with ACORN. And we're calling on the FBI and Justice Department to open an investigation into the corrupt organization.

The writing is on the wall for ACORN. But we need Speaker Pelosi to hold an up-or-down vote on the Defund ACORN Act today.

By making a generous contribution of $25, $50, or $100, you'll help me make sure that leftwing outfits like ACORN and its affiliates don't get one more penny of your tax dollars. I hope I can count on your help today!

P.S., Shutting off ACORN's taxpayer funding stream is just one step in a much broader effort to clamp down on government waste and curb spending. We also need to end the bailouts, cut taxes, and get control of the debt. Every dollar you contribute is a dollar I can use in this fight for families and small businesses across the country. Please consider making a generous contribution today!
