Amanda Carpenter went on a search to find out how much of our taxpayer money goes to ACORN. Her findings are listed at Townhall.com on one of their political blogs. Most of the money is channelled through Housing and Urban Development (HUD) through various programs that were set up to help lower income people buy houses. Her preliminary research came up with a figure of roughly $51 million dollars to ACORN and its related organizations. We need to put a stop to this. We are supporting voter fraud through our tax dollars.
