Catholic Church Ends Its Support of Acorn
The Roman Catholic Church is cutting off its support to the advocacy group Acorn, citing concerns over the organization’s handling of voter-registration drives in the November 4 election, reports CNN.
The Catholic Campaign for Human Development, which has donated more than $7.3-million to Acorn-related projects over the past decade, halted its contributions to the group in June amid allegations that Dale Rathke, the brother of Acorn founder Wade Rathke, had embezzled almost $1-million. Mr. Rathke did not comment for the article.

Not to worry! The Democrats will take care of their friends at ACORN the same way they take care of corrupt labor unions—and probably at taxpayer expense!!
