According to a story in the Washington Times

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/oct/07/firefighters-lose-large-grant-to-acorn/

ACORN is about to receive a grant for $990,000. This is after they voted to cut off funding to ACORN but who needs to follow the rules. The Grant goes to ACORN in New Orleans from the Homeland Security Department for Fire Fighting????????? When the head of ACORN was asked what the grant was for all she could do was attract the Senator who asked the question.

Where is the Justice Department and an investigation - They are too busy investigating (again) the CIA to see if they were too hard on Terrorists.

Where is the IRS investigating their tax exempt status.

Where is Homeland Security - out telling local Sheriffs not to arrest Criminals

IS this the Change that most voted for??

The money has been going to the New Orleans Fire Department to fund a program that provides smoke detectors to low income families. Anytime Fire or Ambulance crews go into a home, they do a check for smoke detectors, if there aren't any working ones, one is provided without cost.

If ACORN is supposed to provide the smoke detectors, how are they supposed to learn who needs them?

ACORN will hire workers to survey the community to see how many have fire alarms. They will then hire more workers to study the problem and come up with suggestions on how to solve the problem. More workers will be hired to develop a program and to figure out the cost and how many workers will be needed. Then another group will be hired to write a grant proposal to have the federal government fund the program. The program will be to have a training session on how to sue the landlord for not having smoke detectors in the buildings. Finally they will write a grant to train people in how to protest the NO Fire Dept to have them inspect homes when they are called to the home and to provide one or more free if needed. Their main rational will be that since 2009 to the present 2012 five people have died in house that did not have smoke alarms.

And then the people without smoke detectors will be hauled off by FEMA to live perpetually in formaldihyde ridden trailers!
