Republican Budget Defunds ACORN, Even Though There Is No More ACORN

A new short-term budget bill introduced by the GOP bans federal funding to ACORN, three years after the group became defunct.

ACORN leaders announced that the group was disbanding in March 2010, after Congress cut off all federal funding to the organization. The provision in the current GOP budget bill [PDF], buried on page 221 of 269, would duplicate legislation that has already passed, to target an organization that does not exist.
