TAB Applauds Cornyn’s Vote to End Federal Funding of ACORN

Bill Hammond TAB President/CEO | September 15th, 2009 | Posted in Press Releases |

“The Texas Association of Business has long considered Senator John Cornyn one of its champions of the business community, employers and hardworking Texas families. Senator Cornyn’s vote in favor of an amendment that would stop the federal government from funding the controversial Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) organization highlights his commitment to taxpayers.”

“ACORN has been mired in controversy and its continued eligibility for federal funding was absolutely mind-boggling. This vote was critical to the men and women of Texas. Our Texas leaders must fight all efforts to shut down federal dollars being used to support this organization. We applaud Senator Cornyn for keeping taxpayers first.”

Founded in 1922, the Texas Association of Business is a broad-based, bipartisan organization representing more than 3,000 small and large Texas employers and 200 local chambers of commerce.
