amongst other things, the post office is a government (in most senses) agency. ACORN isn't. ACORN serves US (the public) at the DISCRETION of the govt.

they did NOT police themselves. the fact that so many employees would so willingly do this stuff that the investigators revealed, shows a CULTURE of incompetency and corruption.

ACORN has the burden to prove themselves worthy of federal money. the onus is on them.

they can clean house, fix their problems and reapply

i support congress. they did the right thing, as did the overwhelming majority of dems who voted to do so
