HAVE THE KLEENEX READY

I can barely contain myself. Barely hold back the tears. You see after those poor Acorn people lost funding - millions of Dollars in funding - someone decided that Congress had breached the Constitution!

Yesterday the Community Organisers - made famous on all kinds of levels - filed suit against the Federal Government. It claimed that the revealing "prostitute" videos where a young couple posing as a Hooker and her pimp were offered all kinds of illegal advice on how to obtain housing and a loan - was used by Congress to "convict" the group and therefore take away its funding.

Anyone need a Kleenex yet? No? Me neither.

Thursday's lawsuit claims that Congress violated the right to due process enshrined in the Fifth Amendment -- declaring the group guilty of a crime and punishing its members without completing an investigation within the Department of Justice or the IRS. "It's not the job of Congress to be the judge, jury, and executioner," said Jules Lobel, an attorney representing the Center for Constitutional Rights. That from Fox News.

So now I guess more Federal tax Dollars will be spent on this group - this time fighting them over OUR money.

We all of course hope that the Federal Government puts up a strong defense. It's just hard to sleep knowing that Acorn is feeling the pinch. Maybe I should send them something? Some "change" perhaps? Maybe that will lead to "hope" for them?

Let me know what YOU think!
