The ACORN 7

Yesterday the US Senate voted 83-7 in favor of an amendment by Sen. Mike Johanns (R-NE) to strip ACORN of funding in the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development appropriations bill.

Who voted to keep the cash train flowing to ACORN?

•Sheldon Whitehouse, D-RI
•Roland Burris, D-IL
•Dick Durbin, D-IL
•Bernie Sanders, I-VT (Sanders caucuses with the Democrats)
•Patrick Leahy, D-VT
•Bob Casey, D-PA
•Kirsten Gillibrand, D-NY

Leahy and Gillibrand face the voters next year. The unpopular Burris, Rod Blagojevich's selection to replace Barack Obama in the Senate, bowed to the inevitable and announced that he won't run for a full term.

Illinois and Vermont are the only two states in which both of its senators are members of the ACORN 7.
