USA TODAY’s Judy Keen and William Welch reported last week: “The Internal Revenue Service said it will no longer partner with ACORN to provide free tax advice.

WTH - why were they partnering with them in the first place?
Quote:
With no fanfare and no roll call vote, not even a speech -- the Senate on Tuesday unanimously approved an amendment by Sen. Mike Johanns, R-NE, that bars any funds from the Defense spending bill from going to ACORN.
Johanns promised to introduce a similar amendment on every spending bill Congress considers this year, until the chamber takes up his broader bill that would impose permanent ban on ACORN receiving any federal funds.
It took the Senate a little over one minute to consider the measure.

So they can actually make a decision when they need to - Thats good to know. Seems like it normally takes them months to do anything.
