Cleveland Adult Entertainment: Whitehouse defends vote to continue funding ACORN
Whitehouse defends vote to continue funding ACORN
Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) was one of seven senators who voted to continue using federal money to fund American Community Organizers for Reform Now (ACORN), a union backed group, earlier this week.
Senator Jack Reed (D-RI), voted to strip ACORN of the federal funding.
ACORN is suffering a public relations nightmare after two conservative activists posing as a prostitute and a pimp entered an ACORN office asking for advice on how to account for a house on tax forms and how to shelter money from taxes. The ACORN employees gave advice on how what to list the girl’s occupation as on tax forms.
The two also said they planned on sex trafficking minors from Venezuela, and ACORN employees advised them to list the minors as dependents on tax forms.
