Congressman Tom Price (R-GA) issued the following statement after the House of Representatives voted to prohibit federal funding to ACORN by a vote of 345-75.

“An overwhelming bipartisan majority of the House took an important step in the right direction by voting to prohibit this organization from receiving any federal assistance,” said Congressman Price. “It’s a travesty that taxpayer money was ever allowed to fund ACORN’s fraud and corruption. It has long been understood that ACORN’s continued federal funding is only a result of its alliance with congressional liberals. We must diligently make certain that Democrats keep their new promise to block tax dollars for this group. And as we must see how far this corruption goes, I urge Democrat leaders to call hearings on this matter and call on the Administration to conduct a full audit so the American people may learn the full truth and get their money back.”
