Quoted in 'ACORN says it cut ties with IRS days ago'

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 22:16:17 GMT

said in The Hill:

Charles Boustany (R-LA) for their efforts in holding the IRS accountable on this critical issue.

In the meantime, every federal agency should carefully re-evaluate its relationship with ACORN to ensure this corrupt outfit does no further harm to the public trust.
