At 11:45 this morning, House Republican Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, will make a television pitch for HR 3571, the Defund ACORN Act, to remove all federal contracts and agreements between the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now and the federal government.

In the meantime, his office is highlighting six votes that Democrats have taken, in committee and on the floor, to preserve federal funding for the organization. Democrats have defended the group’s ability to receive funds from the federal mortgage bailout, the stimulus package, and two appropriations bills.
