The Department of Homeland Security issued a nearly one-million dollar grant to ACORN under the “2008 Fire Prevention and Safety Program” in September.
Of course, it’s a totally natural fit. When I think of ACORN, I think of under-aged El Salvadoran sex slaves brought into the country illegally. And when I think of under-aged El Salvadoran sex slaves brought into the country illegally, I think how much more their lives would totally suck if they were to catch on fire. Hence, the $997,402 grant to ACORN for fire prevention. It’s for the children. I think Smokey the Bear even mentioned burying your whoring money in a tin can in the backyard once. Or was that Huggie Bear?
Senator David Vitter (R-LA) doesn’t see the clear connection. He’s not a visionary like me.
To most people, the timing and the amount of the grant would seem off base, but when you take into account the fact that DHS awarded ACORN–an organization with no clear expertise in fire safety and prevention–a fire prevention and safety grant, it’s just plain offensive.
With fire departments all over Louisiana – and the rest of the country – struggling to make ends meet and get the equipment and training they need to protect their local communities, the idea of a million dollar grant going to ACORN is unsettling, to say the least.

So last week, I wrote a letter to Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano requesting that she rescind this grant from ACORN. As of today, the Secretary has not responded to my request. [BigGovernment.com] will post a copy of the letter for you to read and see for yourself.
