ACORN claims to be nonpartisan, but it and its many affiliates have ardently supported Democratic incumbents and candidates at all levels of government."

the alternative to this legislation would allow a federally funded program to be shut down by the mere allegation of impropriety. Seems fair to me that if they are entitled by law to receive funds, then those who oppose their funding should not be able to thwart the system just by making accusations which could eventually be found to be untrue.
Even if they are considered too liberal by you.
