Once again, Conservative hero John Boehner comes through in the clutch. Currently both the Senate and the House have voted on separate bills to abandon all Federal funding of ACORN. The bill that was voted on in the House was amended to include this initiative, the meat of this bill however, would have virtually made private student loans a thing of the past. But as FoxNews reports, House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) is officially calling for a separate vote to bar ACORN from receiving our tax dollars.

The House and Senate each passed bills this week that would strip ACORN of taxpayer money, but it may not be so easy to halt federal funding for the scandal-plagued community organizing group.

The measures to de-fund ACORN won the support of both Republicans and Democrats, but they were passed as amendments to separate, unrelated bills — setting up a potentially drawn-out process to reconcile the differences in the legislation.

But since the anti-ACORN measure has bipartisan support, why not simplify?

That’s the idea behind Republican House Minority Leader Boehner’s push for a stand-alone vote to ensure that taxpayer dollars will no longer be used to fund the organization, which has been reeling from a scandal involving undercover videos that purport to show ACORN workers advising a couple posing as a pimp and prostitute on how to skirt the law.

Its not a sure thing though that the bill voted on by the House won’t make it through the Senate and still have the same effect on the Student loan industry. But at least it would have the potential to not be pushed through using the anti-ACORN sentiment as its fuel if Boehner gets his way which should most definitely make it more difficult to pass.

Boehner calls for the vote:

“Now that the House has spoken in such resounding fashion, Speaker (Nancy) Pelosi should schedule an up-or-down vote,” Boehner said in a statement released Friday. “The sooner we can send the Defund ACORN Act as a stand-alone bill to the Senate, which has already voted to deny federal funds to this corrupt outfit, the sooner we can get it to the president’s desk,”

Lets just hope and pray Pelosi hears him.
