Crack open this ACORN!!

[CaliforniaRuth]

Mr. Conyers, Michigan Democrat and fierce partisan, suggested a congressional probe after scathing testimony about the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) during a hearing on various voting issues related to the 2008 presidential election.

Mr. Conyers called the accusations "a pretty serious matter."

"I think that it would be something that would be worth our time," he said during Thursday’s hearing. "We’ve never had one person representing ACORN before the committee. … I think in all fairness we ought to really examine it."

Th\e testimony by Pittsburgh lawyer Heather Heidelbaugh accused the nonprofit group of violating tax, campaign-finance and other laws by, among other things, sharing with the Barack Obama campaign a list of the Democrat’s maxed-out campaign donors so ACORN could use it to solicit them for a get-out-the-vote drive.

Sounds like Conyers went, "Oh oh, they're on to us, better have the ACORN folks get in here and defend themselves so I can make sure they get their funding." That's my take. .
