A few updates on this ordeal. While Congress did deny ACORN 56 million or so in funds for one contract on the 14th it's turns out that they also denied an amendment which would have stopped ACORN from receiving 4.1 billion in stimulus money. So it looks like they'll be around for awhile longer doing consulting work thanks to Congress.
