Washington, D.C., May 8 – U.S. Representative Michele Bachmann (MN-06) issued the following statement as the House of Representatives approved House Financial Services Chairman Barney Frank’s amendment which would allow organizations indicted for voter fraud or related crimes, or employ individuals who have been indicted for voter fraud or related crimes, to receive taxpayer dollars for housing counseling grants and foreclosure legal assistance grants authorized under the Mortgage Reform and Anti-Predatory Lending Act.

“I am disappointed that Congress decided to side with ACORN today over the taxpayers. It is not only legitimate for Congress to decide the threshold for accessing taxpayer funds; it is incumbent upon us to do so. And, for far too long, Congress has cavalierly distributed taxpayer money,” said Bachmann. “Today, 245 Members of Congress went on record as saying that we will lower the bar, and continue to allow organizations repeatedly indicted for criminal acts to pick the taxpayer’s pocket. This is a shameful abdication of our fiduciary duties.”

The amendment passed by a vote of 245-176 largely upon party lines.
